A dowager is being scared to death in this classic whodunit by a #1 New York Times-bestselling master who "helped the mystery series grow up" (The New York Times).
 
It’s enough to stop Eliza Fairbanks’s heart. At least that’s what the elderly widow claims is being done to her. First, someone unleashes a cloud of bats in her locked bedroom. When that doesn’t do the trick, next comes a pack of rats to claw at her toes. Special duty nurse Hilda Adams, aka "Miss Pinkerton" to the Homicide Bureau, believes Eliza’s every rattled fear is true. She may be frail—but she’s not batty.
 
What Eliza is, is very, very rich. Out of the shady and oddball assortment of relatives swarming the mansion, someone clearly has an eye on the Fairbanks fortune. Now it’s Hilda’s job to keep an eye on Eliza before a potential killer resorts to more definitive means. And considering all the bad blood running through the heart of the Fairbanks family, it might already be too late to save her charge.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart nasceu em Pittsburgh, nos Estados Unidos da América, a 12 de agosto de 1876. Formada em enfermagem, cujos conhecimentos técnicos veio a aplicar com mestria nas tramas que concebeu, foi após uma queda de valores na Bolsa americana que Rinehart, vendo-se sem poupanças, começa a escrever as primeiras histórias. O seu livro de estreia, O Mistério da Escada de Caracol (1908), tornou-se um enorme êxito e é ainda hoje considerado um título pioneiro do romance policial. Responsável pelo desfecho «o culpado é o mordomo», que ficaria para sempre associado ao romance de mistério, a autora inovou e amplificou o género, destacando-se ainda com a obra O Homem da Cama n.º 10 (1909), ou a peça O Morcego, que serviria de inspiração à personagem de Batman. Morre em Nova Iorque, a 22 de setembro de 1958.
