Haggard hews closer to his home, the English countryside, than usual in this 1888 outing, pitting Harold Quarich against, not lost races or evil wizards, but an equally quarrelsome local gentry. Moving into his deceased aunt’s house, he meets interesting characters and gets caught up in a Christmas storm, a murder attempt, a treasure hunt, and, of course, blackmail.
