A badly battered corpse is found on the golf links. The first verdict was suicide; but four leisurely gentlemen staying at the country club thought differently, and so did the police. Several times the mystery seems to be solved conclusively; the evidence seems to be complete; but there is a flaw in the logic and the search begins anew. The final explanation proves for the detectives, as for all people, that the obvious things are the best concealed.

The complications and mystery of the narrative will please one class of readers. but another group will be more delighted with the cultured argumentations of the four amateur detectives. In directing their talk, Father Knox shows an amazing of perspicacity (Summary from America Magazine, 1926)
