empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some
tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car―strange for a
frigid night. Her World War I veteran husband and her daughter have

time away.

past, acclaimed author Marie Benedict brings us into the world of
Agatha Christie, imagining why such a brilliant woman would find
herself at the center of such murky historical mysteries.
