A Dr Gideon Fell novel.
SYNOPSIS: “Not a single member of the Murder Club turned up for the dinner. This was odd, but it did not deter the principal guest from telling his story – a fantastic tale of an unsolved sword-stick murder that had taken place on top of a tower near Chartres, and of the strange manifestation there of a vampire. Curiously, one of his two listeners was to employ as a librarian a woman who had also played some part in the terrible story. It is down to Dr Fell to dispense the fears the reveal the truth.”
