World War II hero Davy Fox has returned to his New England hometown
of Wrightsville a changed man. When his wife Linda wakes up to find
Davy's hands squeezed around her neck, it takes all of her strength
to get away. But Davy is more than shellshocked from the war. He's
haunted by events of twelve years before, when his mother was
murdered by his father, Bayard, who is serving life in prison and
had always insisted that he was not the one who killed his wife.
Linda hopes that if Davy's father could be proved innocent, it
might clear the conscience of her young, angry war hero husband,
saving her marriage and herself. She suggests to Davy that they
seek out Ellery Queen, a New York writer whom she remembers
successfully solved a previous Wrightsville mystery. For Queen, the
case is a long shot: with his only witnesses people closely
connected to the victim, and Queen's only clue Bayard Fox's
insistence of innocence, the clearest path leads back to the man
already serving a life sentence. Determined to get to the truth of
the matter, Queen returns to the house where the murder took place,
a house preserved down to the smallest detail precisely as it had
been when the tragedy struck. And here he finds the clues that
blast the case wide open.
