Count Oscar de Bennetot belongs to the tight circle of Norman gentry whose nighttime movements Ralph d'Andresy watches from the shadows of the estate wall. He is entangled in the conspiracy that the Baron's hidden letter only half reveals, a world of staged shooting parties and coded telegrams. Whether he is architect or instrument of the scheme, his presence thickens the atmosphere of suspicion that greets every outsider at the château.
