In the Fog

On a foggy London night, members of an exclusive gentlemen's club pass the time by telling tales of murder, mystery, and intrigue. Each story within the story grows more compelling—and more entangled with the others—until the final twist reveals that fiction and reality have been intertwined all along.

Davis's clever frame narrative is a masterclass in suspense and misdirection, making In the Fog one of the most popular mystery novellas of its era.
