Spinsters in Jeopardy

En route to a family vacation on the French Riviera, Inspector Roderick Alleyn glimpses from the train a shocking tableau. In a moonlit window, a white-robed figure raises a knife to a woman¿s shadow.

Thus begins his incognito exploration of the Chateau of the Silver Goat, where a jet-set cult¿s ¿Way of Life¿ could spell death for a maiden lady of a certain age¿and even for Alleyn¿s own young son¿unless he can unveil its illicit mysteries.

This classic mystery thriller combines suspense, drug rings, and human sacrifice with spellbinding results.
