Plot:
When Laura Fane travels to war-torn London for her inheritance, she meets her lovely, yet poisonous cousin Tanis Lyle. Through her, Laura meets and falls in love with a wounded RAF pilot, making Tanis bitterly jealous. When Tanis is killed, it becomes obvious that several surprising individuals have strong motives for murder. As usual, it will take Miss Silver's astute powers of observation to assist the police and save the young lovers from the dark shadows of the past.

Excellent story, very well written.
