The death of a local sailor.n nAnd he really can't stop thinking about it when it starts looking as though the drowned sailor is somehow connected to the robbery at a nearby manor house.n n____________n nPRAISE FOR THE INSPECTOR TIBBETT MYSTERIESn n'One of the deftest practitioners of the British procedural detective novel' New York Timesn n'A queen of crime ... her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh' Daily Heraldn n'Gripping... very neatly worked out' Evening Standardn n'Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters' Mystery Scenen n'Really good detection' The Spectatorn n'Ingenious and elegant, with nary a trace of formula' Kirkusn n'Patricia Moyes tells great tales in fascinating settings, and her Scotland Yard detective, Henry Tibbett, is perhaps the most believable of anyone detecting in this decade' Los Angeles Timesn n'For classic detection, [Moyes] is far and away best' Times Literary Supplementn nn
