威尔福瑞德·多佛总督察是所有侦探小说中最懒散、最无耻的侦探。这次，他为什么要费心思去破案呢?
度假途中，多佛夫人无意中目睹了一名年轻警察在崖边自杀，并满怀正义感的去当地警局报警，没成想，自杀者竟是当地警察局长的侄子。
得知消息后，局长大为震怒，多佛的假期也就此戛然而止。
Detective Chief Inspector Wilfred Dover is the most idle and avaricious hero in all of crime fiction. Why should he even be bothered to solve the case?
When Mrs Dover witnesses a young policeman's suicide and has the bad taste to report it, Dover's vacation ends abruptly at the seaside wasteland of Wallerton.
As he sluggishly investigates the matter, an earlier case of murder and mutilation turns up as well. Suspecting that the town's Ladies' Club may be oddly involved, Dover devises an elaborate and utterly wicked trap.
His bait: his overworked, unsuspecting assistant MacGregor.

Joyce Porter was born in Marple, Cheshire, and educated at King's College, London. In 1949 she joined the Women's Royal Air Force, and, on the strength of an intensive course in Russian, qualified for confidential work in intelligence. When she left the service in 1963 she had completed three detective novels.
Porter is best known for her series of novels featuring Detective Inspector Wilfred Dover. Dover One appeared in 1964, followed by nine more in a highly successful series. Porter also created the reluctant spy Eddie Brown, and the "Hon-Con", the aristocratic gentlewoman-detective Constance Ethel Morrison Burke.
