Left with only that mysterious question and a photo of a beautiful young woman in the dead man's pocket, Bobby Jones and his socialite friend Lady Frances "Frankie" Derwent try to figure out who is responsible for this man's death and what these cryptic clues actually mean. With his final breath the man opens his eyes and says, 'Why didn't they ask Evans?' Haunted by these words, Bobby and his vivacious companion, Frankie, set out to solve a mystery that will bring them into mortal danger! His ball is lost, but on the rocks below he finds the crumpled body of a dying man.

While playing an erratic round of golf, Bobby Jones slices his ball over the edge of a cliff.
