The Mysterious Mr. Quin

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. On a storm-lashed New Year's Eve at Royston, Mr. Satterthwaite senses that a polite country-house gathering is concealing a far darker drama. Eleanor Portal's unnerving stillness, her husband Alec's brittle nerves, and the house's memory of Derek Capel's suicide all suggest a past that has never truly ended. Then Harley Quin arrives out of the storm, and the evening shifts from social chatter to an inquest of the heart, as he probes the dead man's last hours, a snowbound night, unopened letters, and a clue tied to the Appleton poisoning case. With uncanny authority, Quin pieces together guilt, fear, and mistaken identity, forcing a painful reckoning that leads to truth and a fragile release between Alec and Eleanor. Elsewhere, glamour masks unease when Lady Stranleigh enlists Satterthwaite to investigate her daughter Margery's terrifying experiences at Abbot's Mede. Between Cannes and an English manor, voices seem to whisper, hauntings may be real, and Satterthwaite once again finds himself drawn into mysteries where emotional wounds and the supernatural are equally persuasive.
