About this book

Liz Bowen, a career girl in advertising art, is about to marry widower Philip Montgomery. Liz lives on the edge of the Village; Montgomery has a house in Spuyten Duyvil on the northern tip of Manhattan. Both have extensive family connections in New York and Europe. And both have secrets in their past which now reach out to destroy their mutual faith, their happiness, and indeed may enmesh them in charges of murder. When the killer strikes the first time, circumstances point dangerously to Liz as well as to Montgomery for reasons which neither can understand at first, so deeply rooted are they in the past. Yet Inspector McKee's skepticism rejects the obvious, and fortunately he digs deeper and deeper. His police work and the mystifying actions of this group of New Yorkers make one of Mrs. Reilly's most fascinating novels of guilty secrets and murder.
