Das Verbrechen gibt niemals Ruhe. Das muss auch Inspector Thorndike erkennen, der mit dem Nacht-Express unterwegs ist. Schon hinter London geschieht ausgerechnet im Nachbarabteil ein Mord. Der Täter? Das Motiv? Ein Rätsel. Aber klar dürfte sein, dass sich der Mörder noch im fahrenden Zug befindet. Doch niemand will etwas gesehen haben und alle Reisenden haben scheinbar wasserfeste Alibis. Zudem mischt sich auch noch eine alte Dame in seine Nachforschungen ein und bringt ihn zur Verzweiflung. Doch Mimi Rutherfurt lässt sich nicht stoppen.

Der Secret Service bittet Mimi Rutherfurt auf einer Insel in der Karibik, genannt "Lagoon Island", um Hilfe. Mr. Elpram hat einen seiner Geheimagenten verloren. Dieser scheint spurlos verschwunden. Als er später durch Zufall auf den Fotos eines Touristen auftaucht, können sie sich kaum vorstellen, welche grausame Veränderung mit dem Mann vorgegangen sein muss. Doch Mimi kommt nicht nur hinter dieses Geheimnis, denn auf der Insel gehen noch weitere unheimliche Dinge vor: Voodoo!

Helen Simkins und unsere Mimi bereiten ein Sommerfest vor. Es soll am bekannten Steinkreis in Stonehenge stattfinden. Dort scheint dem Denkmalschutzverein zu Salisbury die würdevollste Kulisse.

Ein Abend in der Runde alter Bekannter sollte eigentlich kaum für besondere Überraschungen gut sein. Das glaubt auch Mimi Rutherfurt, als sie mit zwei weiteren Freunden der Einladung Charles Merediths folgt. Es ist schließlich nicht das erste Mal, dass der Museumsdirektor zum Drink einlädt. Was er und die anderen jedoch nicht wissen: Es steht noch jemand ganz oben auf der Gästeliste. Jemand, dem kein Gastgeber freiwillig eine Einladung schicken würde. Es ist der Tod.
