Synopsis: From the legendary mystery author of Dead Men Don&’t Ski. &“One of the best recent publications of the fair-play puzzle at novel length.&” —The New York Times Amazingly enough, Henry Tibbett is at work. Crime tends to catch him when he&’s on vacation, but this time around Henry&’s at a coppers&’ conference, an international effort intended to stop drug-smuggling. The conference is in Switzerland (for a Scotland Yard detective, Henry does manage to get around.) and the always sensible Emmy has come along for the parties and the chocolate. It&’s a glittering whirl of attractive folks in their best early-1960s attire until one of Henry&’s colleagues winds up dead and Henry, of all people, becomes Suspect No. 1. A minor but real pleasure here? The reappearance of some characters from Dead Men Don&’t Ski, widening both the Tibbetts&’ social circle and the circle of suspects. &“A complicated and clever story, with real detection.&” —The GuardianPraise for Patricia Moyes &“The author who put the &‘who&’ back in whodunit.&” —Chicago Daily News &“A new queen of crime . . . her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh.&” —Daily Herald &“An excellent detective novel in the best British tradition. Superbly handled.&” —Columbus Dispatch&“Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes&’ writing.&” —Mystery Scene
