No observer, ignorant of the situation, would have guessed that
death lurked nearby, and that only a little distance from the
glitter of silver and glass and the hum of voices two victims lay
silent on a studio floor.'On a fine autumn weekend Lord Aveling
hosts a hunting party at his country house, Bragley Court. Among
the guests are an actress, a journalist, an artist and a mystery
novelist. The unlucky thirteenth is John Foss, injured at the local
train station and brought to the house to recuperate - but John is
nursing a secret of his own.Soon events take a sinister turn when a
painting is mutilated, a dog stabbed, and a man strangled. Death
strikes more than one of the house guests, and the police are
called. Detective Inspector Kendall's skills are tested to the
utmost as he tries to uncover the hidden past of everyone at
Bragley Court.This country-house mystery is a forgotten classic of
1930s crime fiction by one of the most undeservedly neglected of
golden age detective novelists.
