About This Book

A celebrated detective answers a mysterious telephone call that ends with a woman’s voice and a sudden crash; when the exchange cannot reestablish the line he and his assistant rush to a wealthy Riverside Drive residence. Inside the library they find the telephone overturned and an elderly man dead on the floor. The ensuing inquiry draws on an earlier case involving two strikingly similar brothers and a long-concealed maternal secret, as the investigators use household clues, family history, and the interrupted call to unravel motives and lurking danger.
