'Never, even in his most optimistic moments, had he visualised a
scene of this nature - himself in one arm-chair, a police officer
in another, and between them - a mystery.' The Reverend Dodd, vicar
of the quiet Cornish village of Boscawen, spends his evenings
reading detective stories by the fireside - but heaven forbid that
the shadow of any real crime should ever fall across his seaside
parish. But the vicar's peace is shattered one stormy night when
Julius Tregarthan, a secretive and ill-tempered magistrate, is
found at his house in Boscawen with a bullet through his head. The
local police inspector is baffled by the complete absence of clues.
Suspicion seems to fall on Tregarthan's niece, Ruth - but surely
that young woman lacks the motive to shoot her uncle dead in cold
blood? Luckily for Inspector Bigswell, the Reverend Dodd is on
hand, and ready to put his keen understanding of the criminal mind
to the test. This classic mystery novel of the golden age of
British crime fiction is set against the vividly described backdrop
of a fishing village on Cornwall's Atlantic coast . It is now
republished for the first time since the 1930s.
