The Golden Age author of Green for Danger delivers "a mystery in
the classic Christie-Carr-Queen manner . . . An outstanding tour de
force" (The New York Times). Few were disappointed when Raoul
Vernet was found with his head bashed in, dead in a pool of his own
blood. On vacation in England, the Belgian seducer comes to visit
Matilda, an old flame from a few years before. She agrees despite
suspicions that Vernet has been deploying his legendary charm on
another member of the family: young Rosie, who has returned from
her Swiss boarding school carrying a child. None of the family
members were in the house when Raoul was killed, but all were
within a fog-choked London mile. Rosie calls in the brilliant
Inspector Cockrill to clear the family's name, but what he finds is
a twisted clan of seven people, each as likely to laugh at a murder
as commit one.
