A young woman falls asleep on a deserted beach and wakes to discover
the body of a man whose throat has been slashed from ear to ear . . .
The young woman is the celebrated detective novelist Harriet Vane, once
again drawn against her will into a murder investigation in which she herself
could be a suspect.
Lord Peter Wimsey is only too eager to help her clear her name.
‘She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent
to achieve that. A truly great storyteller.’ Minette Walters
