This is the main character, Asey Mayo's, third case. "Victoria Ballard is recuperating from pneumonia at a remote Cape Cod cottage when members of a traveling acting troupe show up, looking for their new employer. Since the fog has come in, and there's no phone in the cottage, Vic agrees to let them stay the night. But morning finds one of the group dead, and everyone is a suspect. Fortunately, Asey Mayo is visiting his cousin Syl, practically next door, and is able to investigate."
