When two Canadian prospectors from Ivernia Exploration suddenly disappeared while working on a new site in Ireland, leaving no clue as to the success of their research, Henry Butt, a geologist with the company, was appointed to solve the puzzle. He sets off for Ireland and a series of events so unexpected that he soon wishes he had stayed at home. On his first night at the Kilkelly Castle Hotel—the very place from which McGrew, one of the prospectors, had disappeared—Henry meets husband-hunting Kate Kennedy, eighteen times an aunt and eager to be a wife. Before their romance has time to flourish, it becomes clear that someone is out to get Henry and increase the number of missing persons to three. Poor Kate happens to be on the scene whenever another attempt is made on Henry’s life. Like it or not, she finds herself well and truly involved—though she is not quite sure in what. With shootings and deaths galore, the police don't know which way to turn, despite the added advantage of Superintendent O'Malley's premonitory dreams. Henry doesn't help matters; despite a police escort, he is unable to avoid trouble. In this hilarious Irish crime story, Michael Kenyon not only defies the reader to guess who the villain is, but follows Kate and Henry through one of the most accident-prone courtships ever chronicled.
