About this book

Confined together by the terms of a rigid family will, the wealthy Greenes share a grim old Manhattan mansion, and one by one they begin to die. As footprints cross the snow and the household's poisonous secrets surface, District Attorney Markham and the police find themselves baffled, and Philo Vance must trace a pattern of murder that seems almost too methodical to be human. Published in 1928, this third Vance mystery trades the earlier books' drawing-room polish for a darker, near-gothic dread, and it is often judged Van Dine's finest work. The steadily tightening circle of victims keeps the tension high to the last page.
