| Abstract | "On the evening following London's great fog of 1897, five men are lounging at the Grill, an exclusive gentleman's club. One, a visiting American diplomat, tells the others that while lost in the fog the night before, he stumbled upon the scene of a double murder! Scotland Yard, he relates, is baffled, but a second club member corroborates the diplomat's fantastic tale, confirming that the murder victims were a Russian princess and a young British adventurer. Now the third guest adds his own intimate knowledge of the victims-coincidentally, it seems, he is the solicitor for the adventurer's family. Who committed this heinous crime? And what do these men have to do with it? Until the tale's shocking conclusion reveals all, readers will feel as though they, too, have been wandering in the fog"-- Provided by publisher. |
