This classic mystery is " more than a mere crime puzzle. . . . It is a tragic event which deeply affects the destinies of those who are in any way involved" ( The New York Times). The road to her aunt's country house on Lake Michigan is dark and shrouded in fog. But it's a road Katie Warren knows well, having taken up residence with her Aunt Mina after losing her job during the stock market crash. But as she enters the gates to the gloomy mansion, a figure appears in the murky darkness—and Katie drives right into it, resulting in the death of her ailing aunt's longtime companion, Charlotte Weinberg. The police are called in to investigate and when it becomes clear there was no love lost between Katie and Charlotte, Katie falls under suspicion. But Katie has her own suspicions when she discovers the death in the fog was no accident at all. Now sharing her aunt's house with a list of suspects, Katie must rely on her wits to find a murderer—before the murderer gets her first.
