In post-World War I England, foul play at a suspicious seance provokes the delightfully mismatched sleuthing
duo of American adventuress Beryl Helliwell and prim Brit Edwina Davenport to dig up some dirt . . .
Hidden beneath her British reserve, Edwina has a secret: she's finished her novel and is bravely mailing the
manuscript to a publisher. Beryl also has a secret: as thanks for solving a case, the American adventuress has
been gifted an airplane. After swooping over the fields and hedgerows of Walmsley Parva, livestock scattering
beneath her, she flamboyantly lands the plane on the village green, prompting a startled Edwina to consider a
stiff gin fizz.
Beryl's aircraft is not the only disruption of village peace. Miss Dinsdale, a psychic medium, has started holding
seances. After the church organist resigns to serve as musical accompaniment for the seances, the vicar's
wife hires the enquiry agents to expose the medium as a charlatan. Beryl is confident she can spot the fraud,
having learned from Harry Houdini himself some tricks of the trade. The dubious Miss Dinsdale claims her spirit
guide is an Egyptian princess whose mummy resides in a sarcophagus in the room. But the only body in the
sarcophagus belongs to a murdered villager impaled with a dagger.
As the sleuths begin to investigate, Beryl discovers her plane has been sabotaged and wonders if there's a
connection. Whether in the air or on terra firma, Beryl and Edwina must go round a circle of suspects to divine
the culprit . . .
