For Mr. and Mrs. North, there's no vacation from murder
In a remote cabin far from New York City, Jerry and Pamela North are
getting killed. On the brink of annihilation, they grit their teeth and
battle back. In a minute, the fight is finished--and the Norths are
named mixed doubles champions. It's a happy moment during a splendid
vacation, but off the tennis court, all is not well. After an afternoon
of fun and games, the evening's entertainment will be murder.
Mr. and Mrs. North have invited their closest friends--an ex-aviator, a
mysterious doctor, and NYPD's own Lt. William Weigand--to join them on
this glittering retreat, but the joviality ends when Weigand finds Helen
Wilson lying across the path, a knife buried in her neck. A member of
the group surely killed her, and unless the Norths act quickly, the
murderer will strike again.
