If a case is not first class he won't touch it. But when he received a telephone call from his old friend, a Maine detective named Mitchell, asking for aid in unraveling the peculiar mystery of several poisonings, Gamadge knew he had found a case suited to his unusual talents. He replied that he would come to Maine at once, and left by the next train from New York.
" Mitchell introduced Gamadge to a number of strange people, all of whom seemed connected with the poisonings. There were the gypsies; a famous artis and his wife, and their child's companion who was an advertising man; a farmer's family, who had always befriended the gypsies; and, lastly, a well-to-do mill-owning family.
"With his unusual zest Gamadge brings to bay the murderer who used this strange instrument of death, a wild flower - deadly nightshade. "
