β¦ Synopsis
A haunting romantic mystery from the renowned author of the Albert Campion detective novels: "Allingham stands out like a shining light" (Agatha Christie).
Robin Grey is Scotland Yard's inside man. He handles matters which require a delicacy and secrecy outside the jurisdiction of regular government offices. While lurking about Waterloo station on a mission for the Foreign Office, Grey's interest is piqued by a suspicious character. And those suspicions are confirmed when Grey sees the man shove a passenger onto the train tracks. Rushing to save the victim, Grey now finds himself ensnared in the same sinister plot.
Heiress Jennifer Fern is cursed: Tragic accidents have claimed two past fiancΓ©s, and she would have lost a third had it not been for Robin Grey's heroic actions. Undeniably drawn to this tormented young woman, Grey feels honor-bound to help her. Tempting fate, he goes undercover to solve this deadly mystery. But can Grey protect her, and his own heart, before history repeats itself?
The queen of classic, Margery Allingham delivers an "excellent, ace high story" writing as Maxwell March (Kirkus Reviews).
