When two newlyweds discover that a corpse has been buried in the
basement of their new home, a gruelling case begins to trace the
identity of the victim. With all avenues of investigation
approaching exhaustion, a tenuous piece of evidence offers a chance
for Chief Inspector Moresby and leads him to the amateur sleuth
Roger Sheringham, who has recently been providing cover work in a
school south of London. Desperate for evidence of any kind on the
basement case, Moresby begins to sift through the manuscript of a
satirical novel Sheringham had been writing about his colleagues at
the school, convinced that amongst the colourful cast of teachers
hides the victim - and perhaps their murderer. A novel pairing dark
humour and intelligent detection work, this 1932 'whowasdunin?'
mystery is an example of a celebrated Golden Age author's most
inventive work.
