Published in 1938 by Hodder and Stoughton in London, it features Superintendent Hannasyde and the witty Sergeant Hemingway investigating the murder of Ernest Fletcher, who is found dead in his study, struck by a blunt instrument. The story is a classic locked-room-style whodunit with clever plotting, sharp dialogue, and Heyer’s trademark humour and social observation. It is the fourth and final novel in her Hannasyde series and is widely praised as one of her best and wittiest mysteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood blue cloth hardcover with gilt title lettering and black publisher on spine.
