Mark Brendon of Scotland Yard is fishing on Dartmoor when he meets a lovely young wife, Jenny, and hears that her husband has vanished, apparently killed by her uncle Robert Redmayne. The case follows the red-haired Redmayne brothers from Devon to Lake Como, and only the arrival of the American detective Peter Ganns begins to make sense of it.
