The great artist John Lafcadio has been dead for 18 years and for the last 8 years his wife has organised a one painting exhibition of his remaining unseen work to keep his reputation alive. It is at the eighth gathering, that a young artist, Thomas Dacre, is murdered. Once the obvious suspects, Dacre's girlfriend Linda Lafcadio, and the art dealer Max Fustian, who makes a seemingly frivolous confession are dismissed, the case remains unsolved and hushed up. However, when the works and possessions of the murdered artist start to disappear and a further murder takes place in the Lafcadio extended household, the detective Albert Campion learns more about the dead artist's paintings and the identity of the murderer.
