Refuge of Others' Secrets

Baroness Amalia Korf didn’t immediately understand why an uninvited guest had come to their home. As it turned out, Louise Delorme was trying to investigate the murder of Louise Lehman, which happened twenty years ago. At the time, Louise Lehman lived with her lover, Sergey Petrovich Mokrousov, whose estate was next door to the estate of Amalia’s relatives. They still remembered that terrible story: Louise’s body was found in a ravine; suspicion fell on her lover and his new passion, but they managed to get away with it—while one of the servants was sent to hard labor, clearly on a charge that was most likely false…

Intrigued, Amalia went to the site of the old crime together with Louise. Is it possible, after all these years, to find clues, witnesses, and figure out the true murderer? Yes—if the brilliant Baroness Korf takes the case!
