  Standing alone in the bleak Yorkshire Moors is Sir Rufus Marne's 'House of the Bears'. Dr. Palfrey is asked to journey there to examine an invalid - whom he finds has disappeared. Moreover, Marne's daughter lies terribly injured after a fall from the minstrel's gallery, which Dr. Palfrey discovers was no accident.

  Introducing The Toff

  The Toff is the Hon. Richard Rollison; the ultimate sleuth who revels in solving crimes.

This involves murder, suspense and thrilling action as The Toff applies his mind with its usual precision and thoroughness.
