Действие романа разворачивается в Лондоне и его пригородах. В центре сюжета лежит расследование убийства богатого и знатного семейного тирана — лорда Эджвера, которого подспудно (прямо в романе это не констатируется, хотя Гастингс упоминает собрание сочинений маркиза де Сада, увиденное в его библиотеке) уличают в склонности к садизму. Убийство происходит в собственной библиотеке лорда Эджвера в его доме. При этом обстоятельства убийства, в отличие от большинства других романов А. Кристи, не представляют собой ничего интересного. Интрига заключается в том, что убийство сопровождалось костюмированным розыгрышем, и в течение всего романа следствие пытается понять, кто стоял за этим розыгрышем и имеет ли он вообще отношение к убийству.
