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. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
