A mysterious visitor insists he has risen from his own coffin and threatens that his brother will kill anyone who calls on him. During a snow‑veiled night, the brother crashes through the locked front door, shoots Grimaud, and disappears. The baffling case, featuring no footprints left by the killer, brings known detective Dr. Gideon Fell into a chilling investigation.
