An Inspector McKee mystery. Her husband died, officially a suicide, his body at the bottom of the sea. All she had to do was relax, collect the insurance, and begin life anew on the wreckage caused by his romantic escapades. But Tess Aiken wasn't like that. She invaded the fogbound dunes of Cape Cod to find out the truth about her husband's death, to lift from her shoulders the charge that she had driven him to suicide. There she uncovered a nest of eccentric artists and writers, living under the domination of a cruel and wealthy woman. Any one of them might have been guilty of murder. All of them wanted to leave. Tess hung around, even after one woman had died screaming and another had been hanged.
