About this book
In this short but thoroughly gripping mystery from George Manville Fenn, a reclusive millionaire has died, leaving his fortune to be divided according to his rather unusual instructions. A group of potential beneficiaries are informed that the money may be hidden in the late fellow's stately mansion, and hijinks inevitably ensue.
