Lured by the promise of a rare and elusive butterfly, the intrepid
Veronica Speedwell is persuaded by Lord Templeton-Vane, the brother of
her colleague Stoker, to pose as his fiancée at a house party on a
Cornish isle owned by his oldest friend, Malcolm Romilly.
But Veronica soon learns that one question hangs over the party: What
happened to Rosamund? Three years ago, Malcolm Romilly's bride vanished
on their wedding day, and no trace of her has ever been found. Now those
who were closest to her have gathered, each a possible suspect in her
disappearance.
From the poison garden kept by Malcolm's sister to the high towers of
the family castle, the island's atmosphere is full of shadows, and
danger lurks around every corner.
Determined to discover Rosamund's fate, Veronica and Stoker match wits
with a murderer who has already struck once and will not hesitate to
kill again....
