“The solitude of the place was almost frightening. Anything might happen here, in this lonely waste of marsh and sky and fog…” Seeking a quiet spot to work on his new play Peter Bavent stumbles on Fleet Trinity, in the salt marshes of the Suffolk coast. It is an eerie, isolated place consisting of a few scattered cottages and the stately gloom of Fleet Hall. Bavent soon becomes acquainted with the locals, including the Hall’s current owner, James Soane, who inherited the building unexpectedly the year before. But Bavent senses a mystery. Why is Soane’s manservant adamant that Bavent should attend a luncheon-party at the Hall? And why is Soane holding secretive meetings with a local artist? And most mysteriously of why is every room in the Hall so brilliantly illuminated at night? Enlisting the help of his producer Alan Darley, Bavent sets about his investigations into the secrets of Fleet Trinity – and the pair are soon caught up in a dangerous game… Originally published in 1931, this atmospheric crime thriller is memorably set against the haunting backdrop of the Suffolk coast.
