About This Book
> Charles Rathlyn has everything - a benefactress, a rich wife, and a comfortable country life. While riding to the hounds one day he takes a terrible spill, and, on reviving, finds himself looking into a pair of beautiful brown eyes. He knows he has fallen again - in love. But are these falls, and those soft brown eyes, linked to yet another fall - the fatal plunge which the unloved Mrs. Rathlyn takes over the banister to the parquet floor below?
>"Chief Constable Col. John Netterly is a reliable detective in the best British tradition; and the novel culminates in one of the most effective whipsnap endings of recent years."-Anthony Boucher, The New York Times
>"One of those expert British suspense jobs, the story moves suavely on two levels; a seemingly slow-paced tale set in hunting country, it crackles with under-currents of blackmail, violent passion and murder. Topnotch in its class, it has the season's best double-whammy etching."-Time
