Published by Poisoned Pen Press (USA) in 1998 with a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing of this edition. Missing Mystery #6. . Slight colour fading to the book spine. The first book to feature Inspector Wilkins. “The 1930s country house party packed with crooks, cops, and the usual suspects frames the perfect scene of the crime. This one assembles all the right ingredients … the theft of the fabled diamond necklace, the purloined antique pistols, the secret passage, the ravishing baroness with a past, the body in the lake … What a pretty puzzle! “Don’t expect me to solve anything,” Inspector Wilkins announces. But of course, he does : theft, espionage, impersonations (triple, at the very least), blackmail and murder.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
