holiday. but as they set off for Skoga, the small Swedish lakeside town,
Puck and her husband,Edwin Bure, are in high spirits. However, the

body of the young man behind the lilac bushes. Plunged into the victim's
heart is the Professor's Egyptian paper knife...but who is the man and
why was he killed?

Puck's insatiable curiosity leads her to make her own enquiries and soon
