J. Jefferson Farjeon (1883-1955) was the author of more than sixty crime and thriller novels. His work was highly acclaimed in his day; Dorothy L. Sayers wrote that 'Jefferson Farjeon is quite unsurpassed for creepy skill in mysterious adventures'. Farjeon is now best known as the author of Number Seventeen, a play that was adapted for the big screen by Alfred Hitchcock. His Christmas crime novel, Mystery in White, was republished by the British Library in 2014.

Entre los invitados se encuentran una actriz, un periodista, un artista y un novelista de misterio. El desafortunado decimotercero es John Foss, herido en la estación de tren local y llevado a la casa para recuperarse, pero John guarda un secreto. Pronto, los acontecimientos dan un giro siniestro cuando un cuadro es mutilado, un perro apuñalado y un hombre estrangulado. La muerte golpea a más de uno de los invitados, y se llama a la policía. El inspector de policía Kendall pone a prueba sus habilidades al máximo mientras intenta descubrir el pasado oculto de todos en Bragley Court.
