Inspektor Skotlend-YArda Alan Grant vsegda s ostorozhnostyu otnosilsya k pisatelyam i zhurnalistam, — odnako ne sumel otklonit priglashenie Lavinii Fitch v primorskuyu derevushku, oblyubovannuyu londonskoy bogemoy. Ochen skoro mirnyy, hotya i skuchnovatyy otdyh preryvaet tainstvennoe prestuplenie. Bessledno ischezaet krasavets fotograf Lesli Sirl — i mestnaya politsiya tut zhe obvinyaet v ubiystve molodogo radioveduschego Uoltera Uitmora. Na pervyy vzglyad, s vyvodami provintsialnyh sluzhiteley zakona trudno posporit. Razve Sirl ne pytalsya uvesti u Uitmora nevestu? Razve eti dvoe ne ssorilis? I nakonets, razve ne Uitmor byl poslednim, kto videl Sirla zhivym? Odnako Alan Grant ubezhden: Uolter – posledniy, kogo stoit podozrevat v prestuplenii. Milford – tihiy provintsialnyy gorodok v Anglii, gde nikogda nichego ne proishodit. Poetomu zayavlenie pyatnadtsatiletney shkolnitsy o tom, chto ee pohitili, izbivali i mesyats uderzhivali na cherdake, porazilo mestnyh zhiteley do glubiny dushi. Politsiya vzyala u devushki pokazaniya, v kotoryh ona ochen podrobno, vplot do treschiny na kruglom okne, opisyvaet komnatu, gde ee uderzhivali. No pravdiva li ee istoriya? Ved predpolagaemye pohititelnitsy Marion SHarp i ee prestarelaya mat utverzhdayut, chto nikogda ne videli etu devushku. Kto-to iz nih lzhet. No kto? Advokat Robert Bler beretsya za nevypolnimuyu zadachu: on dolzhen dokazat nevinovnost zhenschin.
