Eccentricity can mask a calculated criminal trap

Old John Flack's escape from Broadmoor sets a vengeful mastermind back into motion against former rivals and the law. Unaware of the danger, Margaret Belman takes a surprisingly lucrative secretarial post at Larmes Keep, a quiet retreat run by the strange Mr. Daver. The estate houses an odd assembly of boarders and a terrified housekeeper, while gang leader George Ravini pursues Margaret from London. The retreat offers isolation under the guise of tranquility.

CHAPTER I → CHAPTER IV

Vanishing guests signal the quiet start of violence

Detective J.G. Reeder warns Scotland Yard that Flack is rallying his scattered network for an unprecedented gold heist. At Larmes Keep, George Ravini attempts to charm the mysterious Olga Crewe by displaying his diamond rings, only to disappear abruptly during the night. Margaret discovers a torn swatch of pink silk caught in her doorframe matching Ravini's abandoned sleepwear. A past betrayal between Ravini and Flack reveals that revenge is already unfolding silently behind closed doors.

CHAPTER V → CHAPTER IX

Paranoia and secret moves shatter nightly quiet

Reeder arrives at Larmes Keep and learns that housekeeper Mrs. Burton suddenly possesses priceless diamond rings resembling Ravini's. Setting a night watch in his room using a rigged lamp, Reeder intercepts an unseen intruder in the dark corridor and catches Olga Crewe watching nearby. Below, Mr. Daver appears fully dressed in collar and tie while offering frantic excuses about open windows. The house conceals active midnight movements and hidden motives beneath its routine exterior.

CHAPTER X → CHAPTER XI

Exposed aliases force desperate and reckless retaliations

During a card game, Reeder systematically unmasks the boarders as hardened felons, identifying the Colonel as a bank thief and the clergyman as an illicit diamond trader. Moments after the lights plunge into darkness, a thrown knife narrowly misses Reeder and lodges in the wall panelling. Meanwhile, a massive gold shipment vanishes off the Tilbury road when a disguised army lorry subdues the convoy. The criminal alliance strikes back openly as their cover collapses.

CHAPTER XII → CHAPTER XVI

Subterranean chambers hide the ultimate showdown

Trapped within a massive sea cave network under Larmes Keep, Margaret Belman and Detective Brill discover stocked provisions, secret turnings, and hidden storehouses. Flack ruthlessly eliminates Daver after learning of past betrayals, revealing his total insanity. Margaret flees up a perilous, unrailed stone staircase cut into the cliff face with Flack in hot pursuit, finally securing herself behind a heavy steel dungeon door. Reeder coordinates military forces to breach the subterranean stronghold.
