John Treverton has wasted his fortune and sold his commission in a crack regiment, and travels through a snowy night to the deathbed of the relative whose estate may save him. The inheritance comes with conditions, the past he is trying to leave behind will not stay buried, and a sensational murder in London draws his secrets into the light.
