A cosy game of darts in a cosy English pub - until one of the players dies on the spot, after a small accident. Chief Inspector Alleyn knows it wasn't the dart that killed him; it was the prussic acid someone helpfully added to the cut.

Review:

‘Full marks... a really clever problem in detection. It will need a really sharp brain to discover the criminal’
Times Literary Supplement

‘Read just one of Ngaio Marsh’s novels and you’ve got to read them all...’
Daily Mail

‘The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an Empress.’
The Sun

From the Back Cover:

THE ALLEYN MYSTERIES

At the Plume of Feathers in South Devon one midsummer evening eight people were gathered together in the tap-room. They are in the habit of playing darts, but on this occasion and experiment takes the place of the usual game – a fatal experiment which calls for investigation.

A distinguished painter, a celebrated actor, a woman graduate, a plump lady from County Clare, and a Devonshire farmer all play their parts in the unravelling of the problem.

"She transforms the detective story from a mere puzzle into a novel."
DAILY EXPRESS

"The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an empress."
THE SUN
