En la fiesta del sexagésimo cumpleaños de Silas Kane, las discusiones y la disensión entre su familia son evidentes. A la mañana siguiente, Kane es encontrado muerto al pie de un acantilado. La teoría de que Silas se perdió accidentalmente en la niebla se confirma cuando el forense dictamina muerte por accidente. Pero entonces, el sobrino y heredero de Kane es asesinado y se hacen amenazas al próximo en la línea de la fortuna, lo que arroja una nueva y siniestra luz sobre la muerte de Silas Kane. Todas las pistas apuntan a una anciana de ochenta años como la asesina. Pero a medida que el formidable superintendente Hannasyde profundiza en el caso, descubre que nada es lo que parece.
Georgette Heyer was an English novelist and short-story writer, in both the Regency romance and detective fiction genres. Her writing career began in 1921, when she turned a story conceived for her ailing younger brother into the novel The Black Moth. In 1925 Heyer married George Ronald Rougier, a mining engineer. The couple spent several years living in Tanganyika Territory and Macedonia before returning to England in 1929. After her novel These Old Shades became popular despite its release during the General Strike, Heyer determined that publicity was not necessary for good sales. For the rest of her life she refused to grant interviews, telling a friend: "My private life concerns no one but myself and my family."
