cyanide into the ceremonial wine of ecstasy at the House of the

MURDER New Zealand theatrical manager Alfred Meyer is planning a
surprise for his wife's birthday - a jeroboam of champagne
descending gently onto the stage after the performance. But, as
Roderick Alleyn witnesses, something goes horribly wrong. Is the
death the product of Maori superstitions - or something more down
to earth? ARTISTS IN CRIME It starts as an art exercise - the knife
under the drape, the pose outlined in chalk. But when Agatha Troy
returns to her class, the scene has been re-enacted: the model is
dead, fixed in the most dramatic pose Troy has ever seen. It's a
difficult case for Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn. Is the woman
he loves really a murderess...?
