A murder at a seaside estate causes trouble on the home front in this wartime mystery from America's Agatha Christie.

As far as New Yorker Carol Spencer is concerned, the war has spoiled everything. She and Don had been engaged for years and were on the verge of marriage when he was shot down in the South Pacific, leaving Carol on the verge of spinsterhood at twenty-four. Instead of allowing her to take a job in the war effort as Carol wishes, her invalid mother demands that Carol accompany her to the family's summer home in Maine. But when they arrive at the faded mansion, they find it completely locked up. The servants are gone, the lights are dark--and there is a body in the closet.

There is a killer on the grounds of the abandoned Spencer estate, and the police believe it is Carol. As war rages across the seas, Carol Spencer fights a private battle of her own--to prove her own innocence and to save her mother's life.

The suspense mounts as surprises continue in this first-rate mystery from the author known as America's Agatha Christie. Meanwhile, Rinehart powerfully illustrates American life in wartime, with the rationing of food, gasoline, and other elements that in ordinary times were taken for granted.
