The year is 1924. Gwendolyn Parks, the blind young heiress of Pibble, a grand house outside London, has miraculously regained her eyesight after a tumble down the stairs after a dinner party. But it's no cause for celebration. For Gwen did not fall -- she was pushed, by someone at the party. Yet Gwen tells no one, relying upon the miracle of her reclaimed eyesight to solve the mystery herself. But which of the guests gathered around her table that night could possibly wish her dead? Geoffrey, her childhood friend? Lovesick Dr. Dobbs? Family solicitor Alistair Browne? Amanda Lustig, the oh-so-proper antique dealer? And why? Add a jealous local beauty, a surly housemaid, and a suspicious-acting fiance to the list and it's clear that if Gwen wishes to see another dawn, she will first have to look Death in the Eye."
