When Angela Marchmont’s motor-car runs off the road in the fog-bound Romney Marsh, she stumbles upon the body of a young woman hidden in a ditch, her face so badly disfigured that identification seems impossible. Who was she? Why was she left in that lonely spot? And why did someone go to such lengths to ensure she would never be recognised?

Angela’s search for answers leads her from the eccentric household at Gipsy’s Mile to the great estate of Blakeney Park, and from there to one of London’s most fashionable—and disreputable—night-clubs. As she enters a world of jazz music and illegal drinking, Angela soon discovers that the dead woman’s past may be far more disturbing than anyone imagined.

A classic 1920s mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and traditional British whodunits.
