Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder
It is a dark and misty night--isn't it always?--and bachelors Nicholas
and Ian are driving to the ball at Fordings, a beautiful concert hall in
the countryside. There waits the charming Dilys Maine, and a party
buzzing with rumours of one Rosemary Reeve who disappeared on the eve of
this event the previous year, not found to this day. With thoughts of
mysterious case ringing in their ears, Dilys and Nicholas strike a
stranger on the drive back home, launching a new investigation and
unwittingly reviving the search for what really became of Rosemary
Reeve.
Written in the last years of the author's life, this previously
unpublished novel is a tribute to Lorac's enduring skill for
constructing an ingenious puzzle, replete with memorable characters and
gripping detective work.
