For several reasons, the marriage of Gerald Hinton to heiress Elizabeth Lydney might be dead wrong. One is Sally-Ann Belmont, the strikingly beautiful woman who bursts into Gerald's stage dinner claiming to be his mistress—his pregnant mistress. Another is a second unexpected arrival at the posh London party—a woman's corpse. Gerald protests that the condition of both ladies are complete mysteries to him, but Scotland Yard and Geralds' close friend Dr. Breland both suspect there is more to this affair of love and money than indiscretion...perhaps a very calculating killer who makes murder the way to fulfill the desires of the heart.
