The story unfolds in the setting of the Ochakee River and its surrounding landscape, characterized by lush, yet dark and foreboding woods. The narrative introduces the main character, Ned Killdare, a naturalist who is approached by Edith Nealman, secretary to Grover Nealman, the owner of Kastle Krags, who asks him to guide a hunting party. As Killdare becomes embroiled in the lives of Nealman and his guests, a murder occurs, setting off a series of events that explore the eerie atmosphere surrounding the estate. At the start of the novel, the lush yet shadowy description of the Ochakee River and its surroundings sets a tone of lurking mystery. Killdare's solitary life as a naturalist is interrupted when he encounters Edith, who brings him an employment opportunity from her uncle, Grover Nealman. Their interaction is marked by a burgeoning connection, and despite Killdare’s reservations about the clientele that might accompany the hunting party, he accepts the job. However, after a celebratory evening with Nealman's wealthy guests, a horrifying scream pierces the night, leading them to discover the body of Florey, the butler. This shocking event propels the narrative into a tense investigation filled with intrigue and suspense, against the backdrop of the haunting Kastle Krags.
