Death in a Mist — Elizabeth Salter
Shrouded fingers of the fog pulled Valerie closer...to a nightmare of fear...
For Valerie McKay convalescence at her uncle's health spa was a dull affair...until the night she went to the desolate valley, to watch the silver rains of the famous geyser. But Valerie was to see more than the cascade of steam; her proximity to the "Boiling" Pool would force her to witness a cruel moment of murder. Valerie has seen too much; as witness to the murder, she was in immediate danger - and too little; her fleeting glimpse of the murderer in the dark night made identification uncertain. Only one fact was clear; the murder has been coincidental with the arrival of the intensely handsome artist, Stephen Conway...who had the most at stake in it. Stephen has aroused Valerie's suspicion, yet he had stirred another emotion in her...and that emotion would forever silence her from accusing this ruthless stranger...
Valerie McKay's visit to a famous geyser ended in horror when she witnessed a terrible murder. As a result, her own life was endangered, even though her glimpse of the killer was too brief and uncertain to be of much help to the police.
The murder coincided with the arrival of Stephen Conway, a handsome but ruthless artist who could only benefit from the crime. Stephen aroused Valerie's suspicion -- and other turbulent emotions that would not allow her to accuse him.
