Fog of Doubt

The Golden Age author of Green for Danger delivers "a mystery in the classic Christie-Carr-Queen manner . . . An outstanding tour de force" (The New York Times).

Few were disappointed when Raoul Vernet was found with his head bashed in, dead in a pool of his own blood. On vacation in England, the Belgian seducer comes to visit Matilda, an old flame from a few years before. She agrees despite suspicions that Vernet has been deploying his legendary charm on another member of the family: young Rosie, who has returned from her Swiss boarding school carrying a child.
