Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by Thomas Doughty, Johan Christian Dahl and Jan Nowopacký. A woman traveling alone to an Alpine hotel is warned off the pass, and the reason has been waiting there for years. Tracy sets his mystery among the funiculars and table d'hote of Edwardian Switzerland, where everyone is a stranger and half of them are lying about why they came. This edition includes a gallery of 57 plates of painting from 1740 to 1868, among them works by Eduard Wallays, Giovanni Paolo Panini and Thomas Doughty.
