- Synopsis
- A classic from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. &“One of the best books by a mystery novelist whose work is always of first rank.&” —The New York Times Something is afoot at the Ivory Gallery in London. A string of suspicious incidents—a Kang-Tse vase broken, a specially commissioned catalog burned, and now a painting slashed—has young Frances Ivory on edge. She suspects that the instigator is her stepsister&’s husband, Robert Madrigal, but there&’s not much she can do about it while her father is out of the country. Robert is even interfering in Frances&’s love life, encouraging her to marry his loathsome assistant. To stop his infernal matchmaking, Frances agrees to a sham engagement with the painter whose work was defaced. But when Robert disappears after a confrontation with the artist, he&’s found stashed in a cupboard, dead. Frances is now drawn into a mystery that will have her second-guessing her family, her fiancé, and even herself . . . Praise for Margery Allingham &“Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light.&” —Agatha Christie &“The best of mystery writers.&” —The New Yorker &“Don&’t start reading these books unless you are confident that you can handle addiction.&” —The Independent &“One of the finest Golden-Age crime novelists.&” —The Sunday Telegraph
