The story revolves around the shocking murder of Lady Rawson, which occurs shortly before a wedding, setting off a chain of events that intertwine various characters and secrets. The unfolding drama involves the initial investigation into the murder, the missing papers that can have grave political implications, and the lives of those connected to Lady Rawson, including her husband and Roger Carling, her secretary. At the start of the novel, the scene is set with Roger Carling preparing for his wedding while dealing with critical government dispatches that have mysteriously disappeared. Lady Rawson is introduced as a beautiful and enigmatic figure tied to conflicting loyalties and suspicions, as she navigates her relationships with others before her untimely death. When she is found murdered in a telephone booth, the community is thrown into confusion, and her husband's despair only adds to the tension as the investigation reveals deeper mysteries linking the characters in unexpected ways.
