Mignon G. Eberhart

Death in the Fog

From the publisher:

Fog and sleet make driving hazardous in the Chicago traffic. When Katie Warren momentarily stops her car on Michigan Boulevard, she hears a shrouded voice say, “I won’t eat grape hair, nor yet glocks.” The image of grape hair is sinister enough to stick in Katie’s mind. Steering through bad weather, she eventually reaches Aunt Mina’s gloomy mansion—and then something terrible happens.

Originally published in 1933, Death in the Fog is one of the most chilling mysteries ever crafted by Mignon G. Eberhart, a native Nebraskan whose long career culminated in a Grand Masters Edgar award from Mystery Writers of America in 1970.
