'Mr Wills Crofts is deservedly a first favourite with all who want
a real puzzle' - Times Literary Supplement 'He always manages to
give us something that really keeps us guessing' - Daily Mirror
George Surridge, director of the Birmington Zoo, is a man with many
worries: his marriage is collapsing; his finances are insecure; and
an outbreak of disease threatens the animals in his care. As
Surridge's debts mount and the pressure on him increases, he begins
to dream of miracle solutions. But is he cunning enough to turn his
dreams into reality - and could he commit the most devious murder
in pursuit of his goals? This ingenious crime novel, with its
unusual 'inverted' structure and sympathetic portrait of a man on
the edge, is one of the greatest works by this highly respected
author. The elaborate means of murder devised by Crofts's
characters is perhaps unsurpassed in English crime fiction for its
ostentatious intricacy.
