Book description
Tragedy befalls the Carter family following an eventful visit from a
Russian prince and a scandalous blackmail letter. The murder of Wally
Carter generates a bewildering mystery - how does one shoot a man
crossing a narrow bridge without being near the murder weapon when it is
fired? The superlatively analytical Inspector Hemingway reveals his
unnerving talent for solving a fiendish problem.
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and
best-loved of all historical novelists, making the Regency period her
own. Her first novel, The Black Moth, published in 1921, was
written at the age of fifteen to amuse her convalescent brother; her
last was My Lord John. She wrote twelve detective stories,
which earned her much critical acclaim and the title 'Queen of Crime.'
Georgette Heyer died in 1974 at the age of seventy-one.
