Description
In the tenth volume of a set of Inspector Alleyn mysteries, Ngaio Marsh presents a gripping tale of murder, deceit, and family secrets. Chief Superintendent Alleyn is tasked with ensuring the security of a presidential reception at a London embassy, but an assassin strikes, and Alleyn must navigate a complex web of suspects and motives.
Meanwhile, his son Rickie Alleyn has arrived in the Channel Islands to write, but finds himself embroiled in a mystery when a stablehand is found dead. As Rickie's father is discreetly summoned to the scene, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems, and that a grave mistake has been made.
With two husbands dead, a daughter's marriage in jeopardy, and a debilitating disease, Sybil Foster's death seems like a tragic accident. But Chief Superintendent Alleyn is not convinced, and sets out to uncover the truth behind her death, and the sinister events that have unfolded.
