Daffodil Affair

Inspector Appleby's aunt is most distressed when her horse, Daffodil - a somewhat half-witted animal with exceptional numerical skills - goes missing from her stable in Harrogate. Meanwhile, Hudspith is hot on the trail of Lucy Rideout, an enigmatic young girl has been whisked away to an unknown isle by a mysterious gentleman. And when a house in Bloomsbury, supposedly haunted, also goes missing, the baffled policemen search for a connection. As Appleby and Hudspith trace Daffodil and Lucy, the fragments begin to come together and an extravagant project is uncovered, leading them to South American jungle.

Matusa inspectorului Appleby este cea mai ingrijorata cand calul ei, Daffodil - un animal oarecum prost inteles, cu abilitati numerice exceptionale - dispare din grajdul ei din Harrogate. Intre timp, Hudspith este fierbinte pe urmele lui Lucy Rideout, o tanara enigmatica a fost dusa pe o insula necunoscuta de un domn misterios.
