"Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the
grave."
These ominous words are the last threat that
Sir Edward Grey receives from his killer. Before he can show
them to Nicholas Brisbane, the private inquiry agent he has
retained for his protection, he collapses and dies at his
London home, in the presence of his wife, Julia, and a
roomful of dinner guests.
Prepared to accept that
Edward's death was due to a long-standing physical
infirmity, Julia is outraged when Brisbane visits and
suggests that her husband was murdered. It is a reaction she
comes to regret when she discovers damning evidence for
herself, and realizes the truth.
Determined to bring
the murderer to justice, Julia engages the enigmatic
Brisbane to help her investigate Edward's demise. Dismissing
his warnings that the investigation will be difficult, if
not impossible, Julia presses forward, following a trail of
clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever
closer to a killer who waits expectantly for her arrival.
