When a counterfeit currency racket comes to light on the French
Riviera, Detective Inspector Meredith is sent speeding southwards -
out of the London murk to the warmth and glitter of the
Mediterranean. Along with Inspector Blampignon - an amiable
policeman from Nice - Meredith must trace the whereabouts of Chalky
Cobbett, crook and forger. Soon their interest centres on the Villa
Paloma, the residence of Nesta Hedderwick, an eccentric
Englishwoman, and her bohemian house guests - among them her niece,
an artist, and a playboy. Before long, it becomes evident that more
than one of the occupants of the Villa Paloma has something to
hide, and the stage is set for murder. This classic crime novel
from 1952 evokes all the sunlit glamour of life on the Riviera, and
combines deft plotting with a dash of humour. This is the first
edition to have been published in more than sixty years and follows
the rediscovery of Bude's long-neglected detective writing by the
British Library.
