Late in 1901 Auguste Didier and his Russian bride, Princess Tatiana, are visiting the Yorkshire seat of the long-established Tabor family for a gala ball the king has promised to attend. Lady Priscilla Tabor is devoted to the heritage of the household and, determined that tobacco will not sully her Elizabethan tapestries, she dispatches gentlemen who wish to smoke to the far end of the huge garden where a gloomy Gothic folly of tumbling towers and sharp pinnacles has been allotted for this unseemly purpose. Even His Majesty the king is no exception to the intransigent Lady Tabor's rules. Unfortunately for her ladyship, who is determined that nothing shall go awry with the royal visit, the idiosyncratic Tatiana is curious both about the smokehouse and about the filthy habit indulged within its walls. In the middle of the night, Auguste finds himself unceremoniously hauled from his bed by his wife to inspect the body she has just found there. Once again, he is forced, reluctantly, to play detective - there are many secrets to be revealed and questions asked. Is it suicide or murder? And, even more important, who is the corpse?
