In the shadow of the Leonides fortune stands Three Gables—a crooked, rambling mansion where nothing is quite what it seems. When elderly aristocrat Aristide Leonides is found dead in his locked study, suspicion falls on his glamorous young wife and the tangled web of relatives gathered under his roof. Each family member harbors secrets, resentments, and motives. As investigator Charles Hayward—soon to be related by marriage—pieces together the truth, he discovers that in a house built on lies, the most dangerous crookedness lies within the human heart. A masterful tale of greed, love, and betrayal.
