Summary

Mit einem blutigen Dolch in der Hand wird die junge Lila Dryden ueber der Leiche ihres Verlobten ueberrascht. Alles spricht gegen sie, doch sie beteuert hartnaeckig ihre Unschuld. Die scharf kombinierende Miss Silver muss all ihren Spuersinn aufbringen, um Licht in das Dunkel aus Luegen, Verrat und undurchsichtigen Affaeren zu bringen. With a bloody dagger in her hand, the young Lila Dryden is found next to the dead body of her fiance. Though she repeatedly denies her involvement, she is still a suspect. Miss Silver needs all her investigative skills to uncover all the lies, betrayals and obscure affairs.
