"Black Cabinet" by
Patricia Wentworth is the tale of a young heiress who uncovers the dark secret of her inheritance, details of which are locked up in a large piece of furniture. A brutal gang want to silence her (and get their hands on her inheritance of course)...
A fast moving adventure with continuous peril. An enjoyable read though the heroine was a bit wearisome at times and makes a few decisions which seem a bit odd, though help pad the story out a bit more. The energy of the story helps pull you through.
