Biography[]
The novel begins with Tommy and Tuppence having no means of support and needing to earn money quickly. They decide to become adventurers. Whittington quickly approaches Tuppence and demands that she go to a certain boarding house. When Whittington asks her name, Tuppence says Jane Finn (a name that she accidentally heard from Whittington himself). Unexpectedly, Whittington goes berserk, gives Tuppence a lot of money and throws her out. Tuppence tells Tommy what happened. At first, they have fun together with the wealth that has unexpectedly fallen on them, but the money quickly runs out. Then Tommy and Tuppence decide to follow Whittington to find out something that they can then blackmail him with. But Whittington disappears, and the company on whose behalf he tried to hire Tuppence, as it turns out, does not exist at all. Tommy and Tuppence are looking for people who know something about Jane Finn, and after many adventures, they come across a certain Marguerite Vandemeyer (Whittington accidentally let it slip in a conversation with Tuppence). All the spies connected with the mysterious Mr. Brown, who is the mastermind of this conspiracy, are gathering at her place, including Whittington. However, everything does not go according to plan. Tommy, who went to follow Whittington, suddenly disappears. Marguerite is killed. Soon Tuppence, who rushed to Tommy's aid, disappears without a trace herself. However, Tommy manages to escape from captivity and, with the help of his new friend, the multi-billionaire Julius, first find and pull out Tuppence and Jane Finn, and then expose Mr. Brown, who turns out to be the lawyer Edgerone. Mr. Brown commits suicide. The conspirators flee to different countries. It is unknown what happened to Whittington later.
