It was an exotic end for an English spinster.
En route to a family vacation on the French Riviera, Inspector Roderick Alleyn glimpses from the train a shocking tableau. In a moonlit window, a white-robed figure raises a knife to a womans shadow. Thus begins his incognito exploration of the Chateau of the Silver Goat. . . where a jet-set cults way of life could spell death for a maiden lady of a certain age and even for Alleyns own young son, unless he can unveil its illicit mysteries.
