"Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave."
These ominous words are the last threat that Sir Edward Grey
receives from his killer. Before he can show them to Nicholas
Brisbane, the private inquiry agent he has retained for his
protection, he collapses and dies at his London home, in the
presence of his wife, Julia, and a roomful of dinner guests.
Prepared to accept that Edward's death was due to a
long-standing physical infirmity, Julia is outraged when Brisbane
visits and suggests that her husband was murdered. It is a reaction
she comes to regret when she discovers damning evidence for
herself, and realizes the truth.
Determined to bring the murderer to justice, Julia engages the
enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward's demise.
Dismissing his warnings that the investigation will be difficult,
if not impossible, Julia presses forward, following a trail of
clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever closer
to a killer who waits expectantly for her arrival.
