Plot outline

Old English family castle Emberdy Hall and its inhabitants are hit by a bad omen. A police official was choked to death on the estate's chapel. Inspector Cooper Smith, notorious for his extravagant investigation methods, finds the choked corpse of his colleagues in the river Thames. Smiths mistrust towards the chapel inhabitants grows stronger when the nun, who saw the murdered last alive, is found dead as well. Is there a connection between these murders and a bank robbery in London, where disguised women killed their male assistants with gas in an excruciating manner?
