The fourth Stephens and Mephisto mystery from the author of the bestselling Dr Ruth Galloway series - a must-read for fans of Bryant and May. 'Mixes cosiness and sharpness in a way that recalls the best of Agatha Christie' Sunday Express (on Smoke and Mirrors)
What do a murdered Brighton flower seller, the death of Cleopatra and a nude tableau show have in common? Read the most dangerous case yet for Stephens and Mephisto to find out.
Christmas 1953. Max Mephisto and his daughter Ruby are headlining Brighton Hippodrome, an achievement only slightly marred by the less-than-savoury support act: a tableau show of naked 'living statues'. This might appear to have nothing in common with DI Edgar Stephens' current case of the death of a quiet flowerseller, but if there's one thing the old comrades have learned it's that, in Brighton, the line between art and life - and death - is all too easily blurred...

Condition: Como nuevo. : En la Brighton de 1953, Max Mephisto y su hija Ruby encabezan el Brighton Hippodrome, un logro empañado por un acto secundario poco atractivo: un espectáculo de cuadros de 'estatuas vivientes' desnudas. Esto podría no tener nada en común con el caso actual del DI Edgar Stephens sobre la muerte de una florista, pero en Brighton, la línea entre el arte y la vida, y la muerte, se difumina con demasiada facilidad. Cuarto libro de la serie Brighton Mysteries.
