Mary Llewellyn, una joven reportera, se embarca en un crucero para recuperarse de una operación, pero la tranquilidad del viaje se ve truncada cuando un rico hombre de negocios muere envenenado con estricnina durante una partida de bridge. Lo que parecía un incidente aislado se convierte en una pesadilla cuando otro pasajero desaparece en medio de una tormenta. Decidida a detener al asesino, Mary comienza a investigar por toda la nave, enfrentándose al peligro de convertirse en la próxima víctima. Esta obra de Patrick Quentin es un clásico del misterio de la 'edad de oro', destacando por su trama meticulosa al estilo de Agatha Christie y su ambientación claustrofóbica en alta mar.
Patrick Quentin, Q. Patrick and Jonathan Stagge were pen names under which Hugh Callingham Wheeler, Richard Wilson Webb, Martha Mott Kelley and Mary Louise White Aswell wrote detective fiction. In some foreign countries their books have been published under the variant Quentin Patrick. Most of the stories were written by Webb and Wheeler in collaboration, or by Wheeler alone. Their most famous creation is the amateur sleuth Peter Duluth. In 1963, the story collection The Ordeal of Mrs. Snow was given a Special Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America. In 1949, the book Puzzle for Pilgrims won the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière International Prize, the most prestigious award for crime and detective fiction in France.
