CAROLINE GRAHAM

Si elle avait su, Ann Lawrence aurait refusé que Lionel, son mari, abandonne sa charge de pasteur pour héberger des voyous. Mais comment prévoir qu'une pensionnaire, plutôt que d'avouer un vol, se jetterait une nuit dans la rivière et qu'un témoin en profiterait pour la faire chanter ? Comment prévoir que le cadavre découvert plus tard ne serait pas celui de la jeune fille mais celui du " corbeau " ? Comment, surtout, s'innocenter de ce meurtre auprès de l'inspecteur Barnaby, chargé de l'enquête ? Désemparée, Ann s'apprête à livrer son secret lorsqu'elle est victime à son tour d'une tentative d'assassinat. Pour la police, le mystère reste entier, sauf à admettre que les morts ne sont pas toujours aussi morts qu'on le croyait.
