About this book

An unfamiliar woman in gray walks out of a bedroom that Wilbur believes no stranger could have entered. His wife, Lydia, sees her too, and the locked door turns an unsettling visit into a problem neither can explain. Their lodgings on Twenty-seventh Street become the scene of a mystery that tests Wilbur's confidence in ordinary explanations. When a later event seems to confirm Lydia's fear of a ghostly warning, he begins looking for evidence.

Anna Katharine Green builds this short detective tale from the details of rooms, clothing and remembered encounters. A reversible cloak gives Wilbur one practical lead, while the woman's past draws the story toward questions of money and desperate hope. A quarrel over a valuable bond and a husband's gambling plans adds financial tension to the strange appearance.
