Eager to escape a broken engagement, young Bostonian Catherine West accepts an invitation to stay with Germaine Bender, the French widow of her wealthy cousin, in Paris. But before Catherine arrives, a strange warning letter suggests that all is not well in Germaine's elegant apartment.
No one meets Catherine at the station. The servants are evasive and openly hostile, while Germaine is kept secluded and described as mentally unstable-even suicidal. Valuable possessions have disappeared, old friends have been shut out, and Catherine begins to suspect that her cousin's widow is being deliberately isolated and manipulated.
Her unexpected ally is Geoffrey Macadam, an English solicitor who has his own reasons for distrusting the household. Together they must untangle a web of greed, deception, and calculated cruelty before its intended victim is destroyed. First published in Britain as Spiderweb and in the United States as Murder in Paris, Alice Campbell's 1930 novel is an atmospheric Golden Age mystery filled with psychological suspense, romantic intrigue, and the sinister glamour of interwar Paris.
