À propos de cet e-book

In this mystery from America's Agatha Christie, a widow suspected of her husband's murder must clear her name and defend herself against a killer.

Three years ago, Meade Forrest tried to mend her broken heart by marrying millionaire philanthropist Sam Havlock. Despite her husband's attentiveness to her happiness, she was never fully comfortable being his wife in New York's high society, knowing there was no true love between them. So, when she's unexpectedly reunited with her ex, Andy Brooke, Meade is tempted by his suggestion to divorce Sam and marry him.

Then Sam is found dead, having tumbled off the terrace of their Long Island beachfront home and drowning in the sound. The autopsy reveals it was no accident—poison was discovered in his bloodstream. As the sole inheritor of the wealthy Havlok empire, Meade becomes the police's prime suspect. And then she's blackmailed by someone who witnessed Meade and Andy embracing on the day of Sam's death.

The blackmailer is not the only one threatening Meade. Whoever killed Sam is planting evidence to frame her. Proving her innocence means digging into her late husband's business and otherwise—to uncover secrets someone wants concealed at all costs . . .

À propos de l'auteur

Mignon G. Eberhart (1899–1996) wrote dozens of mystery novels over nearly sixty years. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, she began writing in high school, swapping English essays with her fellow students in exchange for math homework. She attended Nebraska Wesleyan University, and in the 1920s began writing fiction in her spare time, publishing her first novel, The Patient in Room 18, in 1929. With the follow-up, While the Patient Slept (1931), she won a $5,000 Scotland Yard Prize, and by the end of the 1930s she was one of the most popular female mystery writers on the planet.

Before Agatha Christie ever published a Miss Marple novel, Eberhart wrote romantic crime fiction with female leads. Eight of her books, including While the Patient Slept and Hasty Wedding (1938), were adapted for film. Elected a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master in 1971, Eberhart continued publishing roughly a book a year until the 1980s. Her final novel, Three Days for Emeralds, was published in 1988.
