A weary war veteran, recently released from convalescence, finds himself drawn back to the tranquil country estate of Styles Court at the invitation of an old acquaintance. There he encounters a tangled family dynamic: a domineering matriarch, her two grown sons, a newlywed brother‑in‑law, and a mysterious new secretary whose sudden arrival raises eyebrows. The peace of the summer is shattered when a tragic night reveals a shocking death, thrusting the household into suspicion and turmoil.
Enter the famed Belgian detective, whose methodical mind and keen eye for detail begin to unravel the tangled relationships and hidden motives. As the investigation unfolds, longstanding grudges, secret romances, and financial pressures emerge, each adding another layer to the puzzle. Listeners are invited to join the meticulous deduction, piecing together clues alongside the detective before the true culprit is finally exposed.
