The collection of twelve stories was written, in the words of the author, to entertain and educate. There are love affairs, duels, poisoning, scenes from vagabond and gypsy life, irresistibly realistic descriptions of the Lupe underground.
The story begins when a wealthy businessman, Rex Fortescue, dies in his office after drinking tea poisoned with taxiphylline. A strange clue is found in his pocket – a handful of rye grains, which puzzles the police.
