About this eBook
An aristocratic family hiding secrets - and murder.
Classic crime from 'One of American's favourite writers' Mary Higgins Clark
'Suspense to the very end' NEW YORK TIMES
Nurse Sarah Keate is no stranger to mystery - she has solved conspiracies and murders in places as varied as her once-sleepy hospital ward, a gothic mansion, and the Sand Hills of Nebraska. But the Thatchers are different. As close to aristocracy as an American family can get, one of their own requires Keate's care for a suspicious bullet wound to his right shoulder. A wound a relative insists was self-inflicted ...
When the victim dies under even stranger circumstances, Keate knows that he was murdered. As the family closes ranks and struggles to keep its darkest secrets buried, Nurse Keate will stop at nothing to find the truth - but at what cost?

About the author
Mignon G. Eberhart (1899-1996) wrote dozens of mystery novels over a nearly six decade-long career. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, she began writing in high school, trading English essays to her fellow students in exchange for math homework. She attended Nebraska Wesleyan University, and in the 1920s began writing fiction in her spare time, publishing her first novel, The Patient in Room 18, in 1929. With the follow-up, While The Patient Slept (1931), she won a $5,000 Scotland Yard Prize, and by the end of the 1930's was one of the most popular female mystery writers in the world, winner of the coveted Edgar Award
