Description:
Arlena Stuart adorava o sol, e era freqüente ver seu lindo corpo bronzeado estendido na praia, o rosto pousado na areia. Só que desta vez não havia sol... ela tinha sido estrangulada.

Poderia um crime aparentemente passional ter sido ao mesmo tempo uma ação premeditada, muito mais perversa? Os álibis parecem perfeitos neste empolgante mistério à beira-mar.
