Roderick Alleyn is back in this unique crime novel begun by Ngaio
Marsh during the Second World War and now completed by Stella Duffy
in a way that has delighted reviewers and critics alike.
Shortlisted for the CWA Historical Dagger Award 2018. It's business
as usual for Mr Glossop as he does his regular round delivering
wages to government buildings scattered across New Zealand's lonely
Canterbury plains. But when his car breaks down he is stranded for
the night at the isolated Mount Seager Hospital, with the telephone
lines down, a storm on its way and the nearby river about to burst
its banks. Trapped with him at Mount Seager are a group of
quarantined soldiers with a serious case of cabin fever, three
young employees embroiled in a tense love triangle, a dying elderly
man, an elusive patient whose origins remain a mystery ... and a
potential killer. When the payroll disappears from a locked safe
and the hospital's death toll starts to rise faster than normal,
can the appearance of an English detective working in
counterespionage be just a lucky coincidence - or is something more
sinister afoot?
