From the publisher
The summer holiday becomes a nightmare in this classic murder mystery, set during a heatwave.
'Phoebe Atwood Taylor can get more fun into a detective story than any writer at present producing books of this sort' - New York Times
Meet Asey Mayo, Cape Cod's answer to Sherlock Holmes, a Jack-of-all-trades who uses his worldly knowledge to solve the most puzzling crimes to strike the peninsula.
A massive heatwave is scorching the coast. A journalist is found murdered in the cabin he's rented for the season, and the summer holiday becomes a nightmare for the local police. They believe that beloved local businessman Bill Porter is the murderer - it's up to Asey Mayo to prove him innocent and find the true killer.
