James Bennett has been invited to spend Christmas at White Priory, among the retinue of the glamorous Hollywood actress Marcia Tait. Her producer, her lover, the playwright for her next hit, and her agent are all present, soon to become suspects when Tait is found murdered on a cold December morning in the lakeside pavilion. Only the footprints of her discoverer disturb the snow that fell overnight and stopped just shortly after Marcia was last seen alive. How did the murderer get in and out of the pavilion without leaving a trace?
When Bennett's uncle, the cantankerous amateur sleuth Sir Henry Merrivale, arrives from London to make sense of this impossible crime, the reader is treated to a feast of the author's trademark twists, beguiling false answers, and one of the most ingenious solutions in the history of the mystery genre. Henry Merrivale arrives to piece together what appears to be an impossible crime, Carr treats the reader to sensational twists, febrile tension between the closed circle of suspects, and one of the most perfect solutions in the history of the genre.
