Cautious Ludovic Travers assigns himself to a case which piques his personal tastes as well as criminal curiosity when a fellow antiquarian and collector of rare pictures, Weddall, dies- shortly after having changed his will. While Weddall's failing vision seems to have made him the victim of a fraudulent dealer, it is his own quite clear-sighted ruse which costs him his life as well as his collection.... Trustworthy, certainly, and tricky at times too.
