" A Face through the Fog " the story revolves around a village called “Wilson Hill”, roughly the years following the Second World War. Stevens is a humdrum but foolhardy accountant who, despite himself, gets sucked into detective work through a young naïve girl’s impulsively formed impression of him as the only trustworthy person to help her solve her aunt’s dark and mind-warpingly hazy death.
The sole lead Lisa Bristol reasons to have built upon is a picture of Stevens she chances on in the headlines, touting him as the hero besmirching and exposing a hardened corrupt boss, which is followed by his dismissal from the company where he was envied for a lengthy tenure, and his incremental compulsion to take the unbidden novel challenge by the horns and let the snaking path of Lady Bristol’s mysterious death take him wherever it might.
