A new full-length novel adapted by Charles Osborne from Agatha Christie's acclaimed play, presented in the new Christie livery. When a stranger runs his car into a ditch in dense fog near the South Wales coast, and makes his way to an isolated house, he discovers a woman standing over the dead body of her wheel-chair bound husband, a gun in her hand. She readily admits to murder, and the unexpected guest offers to help her concoct a cover story. But is it possible Laura Warwick did not commit the crime after all?
Papa's statement that he would like to have Mrs. Hedgehog for breakfast leads George and Charles to try to cook her in their kitchen, but their guest does not seem to realize that they intend her for the main course.
