Samenvatting:

A rare 1950s classic from E. C. R. Lorac's beloved Inspector Robert Macdonald series, following on from Theft of the Iron Dogs and Fell Murder. Featuring the author's authentic depiction of her lake district home in Lunesdale, Lancashire. An atmospheric mystery full of memorable characters and period charm.

Trouble is brewing once more for the Hoggetts and their friend Chief Inspector Macdonald in Lunesdale, deep in the Lancashire fell country. The treacherous slopes and still waters of a quarry pool have become the backdrop for strange happenings by night, and after an architect surveying the area is nearly hoisted into the cold waters by an unseen assailant, the suspicions of local farmers become a matter for the CID. Lorac's authentic writing of the Lunesdale countryside is paired with a twisting plot in this classic of lake district crime fiction, first published in 1949.
