The victims, a mysterious man and an ambitious widow, are strangled with piano wire, suggesting the same killer. Inspector Hemingway faces a complex case, where a friend's fiancée becomes the main suspect. Timothy Kane, the inspector's friend, tries to prove his fiancée's innocence but discovers dark secrets in her past. Can Hemingway solve this intricate case before the killer strikes again?
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."
