Night after night a tall man in a checked cloak follows Julia Meredith through the foggy streets of London. Her guardians send her away to stay with an old friend Corinne Lyon, but even there she feels watched. Then a stranger moves into a nearby house, a tall man who owns a checked cloak.
The tall man in the wide, checked cloak disappeared into the swirling London mist... Who was he? What did he want with her? Julia Meredith was terrified. Hastilhy, her guardians packed her off to the country, to glorious Lyon House in Devonshire. But not even there was she safe from the ominous secret that stalked her every move even as it eluded her desperate grasp. Julia warmed to flamboyant, eccentric Corinne Lyon and tried to keep her charming, irresistible nephew Edward at arm's length. But it was Philip Ashley who rekindled the thrill of fear: the tall, brooding stranger who had rented the neighboring estate. He knew too much about her, too much to trust. She was a pawn in a dangerous game, fatefully drawn to two men fighting for her life. One was a killer. The other her only hope.
