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.
