Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "You can't expect a murderer to be able to have everything his own way." An expert on twins, James Hardwicke is invited to progressive co-educational Scrope House School to investigate a case of apparent pyromania among the student body. Although inclined to ignore this odd invitation, he is persuaded to accept by his friend Caroline, who wants a job at the school. It is May 1939, German refugees are streaming into England to escape the horrors of the Hitler regime, and the headmaster is worried about the ramifications of a refugee child being the culprit. Soon enough, James' rather desultory investigation encompasses murder too, when sherry is poisoned at a faculty party. James must decide if there is a link between the fires and the murder, and whether the victim - the wife of the English teacher - was the intended victim or an accidental one. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

"I have always thought," he says, "that Jesus Christ was a Snubby, or I should not have worship'd him, if I had thought he had been one of those long spindle-nosed rascals." He dressed in a sedate and sober fashion, in black, "something like an old-fashioned tradesman's dress," but looking like "a gentlemen, in a way of his own."' (p. 63) VG orig. brick cloth.
