Grey Mask

A mysterious criminal mastermind. A woman in peril. And the unforgettable debut of Miss Silver, the governess-turned-detective.

In Grey Mask, Charles Moray returns to London after years abroad, only to stumble upon a shadowy conspiracy led by a man known only as "Grey Mask." When he discovers that his former fiancée is somehow involved, Charles is thrust into a chilling plot involving stolen identities, abduction, and blackmail.

Enter Miss Maud Silver—a retired governess with a sharp mind, a love of Tennyson, and a talent for uncovering the truth. As the trail twists through drawing rooms and dark alleyways, Miss Silver’s calm presence and clever deductions may be the only hope of unraveling the mystery before it turns deadly.

With vintage atmosphere, suspenseful plotting, and a touch of romance, Grey Mask is a classic of Golden Age detective fiction and the brilliant beginning of the beloved Miss Silver series.
