In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, a
letter from a dead man instructs Miss Marple how to conduct an
investigation into a puzzlingly unspecific crime.
In utter disbelief, Miss Marple read the letter addressed to her from
the recently deceased Mr. Rafiel--an acquaintance she had met briefly on
her travels. He had left instructions for her to investigate a crime
after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was
involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most
intriguing.
Soon she is faced with a new crime--the ultimate crime--murder. It seems
someone is adamant that past evils remained buried. . . .
