The whole art colony at Salcott St. Mary would have agreed with popular authoress Lavinia Finch when she remarked about her American guest: “I’m sure he must have been something very wicked in ancient Greece.” The too-handsome, rich, famous Leslie Searle had created havoc at Salcott. He was about to break up an engagement and ruin a smug broadcaster; he'd already insulted a leading playwright and caused a public scandal. Then - without reason or warning - he disappeared. And Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard was called in to investigate a case of possible amnesia, suicide, or homicide! -Los Angeles Times
