About this title

Review:

‘Excellent Roman detailed background... a lively thriller whodunnit.’
OBSERVER

‘One of her best books for a long time... keeps us guessing most craftily.’
DAILY TELEGRAPH

‘Superintendent Alleyn is as devastating as ever.’
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

‘Blackmail and drug-dealing on the Tiber... Fastidious writing, telling character sketches, a fine appreciation of place.’
SUNDAY TIMES

‘I have no doubt at all that this is the best detective novel you have ever written. It has everything, and will go very far.’
EDMUND CORK, Ngaio Marsh’s literary agent

About the Author:

From her first book in 1934 to her final volume just before her death in 1982, Ngaio Marsh's work has remained legendary, and is often compared to that of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. During her celebrated fifty-year career, Marsh was made a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, was named Dame Commander, Order of the British Empire, won numerous prestigious awards, and penned 32 mystery novels.

Now St. Martin's Dead Letter Mysteries is thrilled to make all of Marsh's novels available again for old fans to relish and new ones to discover. So sit back, draw the curtains, lock the doors, and put yourself in the hands of Grande Dame of detective novels...
