O Rourke returns ashore to dine with Mr. Sypher and Miss Pynsent but finds Sypher dead, stabbed, in a music room with a safe and documents nearby. O Rourke contemplates the scene, notices a muffled sound like a sob, and confirms Sypher is murdered. The mysterious crime unfolds amid exotic settings and a tense escape plan.
O Rourke stood by the silent body for minutes noting a clenched hand gripping a stout leather thong and a knife with a mother of pearl handle. He also found a fresh unmarked dagger suggesting a non native killer possibly of French or Italian origin and wondered about the missing girl and deserted servants as he moved through the house.
O Rourke returns to the main hall and discovers three guest rooms with a missing guest identity. A woman's evening wrap and Beatrix initials spark suspicions of Miss Pynsent and Des Trebes as possible conspirators. A second man lies wounded on the veranda as another murder looms, raising fears for the victim’s fate.
The man identified as Paul Maurice, Vicomte des Trebes, also known as Raoul de Hyeres, is found dead in a library setting. O'Rourke recognizes the fallen figure as the latest victim in the Pool of Flame. The scene ends with a cliffhanger as the mystery deepens.
