Leading London art critic William Nasmyth arrives on a small island off the French coast to visit his friend, the famous artist Henry McAllin, who wants to paint his portrait. However, very soon the reader realizes that the reason for the invitation is far-fetched and the minds of both heroes are not at all what they seem. An artist and a critic, a creator and one who takes the liberty of evaluating and interpreting his work — according to the author, the relationship within this couple is always complex and confusing so much that it can serve as an excellent object for research, sustained in the genre of psychological detective story.
