About This Item
Synopsis
Heyer's mysteries have been compared to Agatha Christie, Josephine Tey, and Margery Allingham. Post-war London and drug use among the upper classes provide a fascinating backdrop to one of the last of mega-bestselling author Georgette Heyer's twelve English country-house mysteries.An elegant card party turns deadly when two victims are found strangled with a tourniquet of picture wire. The crimes appear to be identical, but were they carried out by the same hand? Timothy Kane from They Found Him Dead is all grown up and an eligible man about town. When his fiance becomes one of Inspector Hemingway's primary suspects, Timothy is determined to prove her innocent—but discovers the lady's past is more than a little bit shady...
