Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard always treated writers and journalists with caution, but he couldn't refuse Lavina Fitch's invitation to a seaside village favored by London's bohemian crowd. The peaceful, albeit somewhat boring vacation is soon interrupted by a mysterious crime. The handsome photographer Leslie Searle disappears without a trace, and the local police immediately accuse the young radio host Walter Whitmore of his murder. At first glance, it's hard to argue with the conclusions of the provincial law enforcement officers. After all, didn't Searle try to steal Whitmore's fiancée? Weren't the two of them quarreling? And finally, wasn't Whitmore the last person to see Searle alive? However, Alan Grant is convinced that Whitmore is the last person who should be suspected of the crime. Milford is a quiet provincial town in England where nothing ever happens. Therefore, the statement of a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl that she was kidnapped, beaten, and held in the attic for a month shocked the locals to the core. The police took the girl's testimony, in which she very detailedly describes the room where she was held, down to the crack in the round window. But is her story true? After all, the alleged kidnappers Marion Sharpe and her elderly mother claim they have never seen this girl. One of them is lying. But who? Lawyer Robert Blair takes on an impossible task: he must prove the innocence of the women.
