How was Bobby Jones to know that witnessing the dying man's last words--"Why didn't they ask Evans?"--would send him on a death-defying chase? Bobby and his unlikely partner in detection, Lady Frances Derwent, end up in pursuit of a hauntingly beautiful woman--and a cunning killer who is out to do them in!
