Synopsis: When an old friend of Mrs. Sheila Malory invites her to a Writer of the Year party, Sheila feels she cannot refuse. At the party, she meets her old friend Beth Blackmore - otherwise known as Dame Elizabeth Blackmore, the eminent novelist. Sheila is happy that she comes to the party because a week later Beth suddenly dies leaving Sheila full of grief. Beth's publisher following the bequest of Beth's will, appoints Sheila as her literary executor. Among Beth's papers is an unfinished novel telling of a passionate love affair. However, something about the novel convinces Sheila that it is autobiographical and should not be published. When Phoebe, a potential literary critic of the novelist's works also dies, Sheila reads between the lines of Beth's autobiographical novel to find out the truth about Phoebe's murder, before something else tragic happens.
