The headline from The Maningpool Telegraph read: TRAGIC DEATH OF SIR
NOEL GRAMPIAN – shot during performance – Symphony Concert Calamity.
As a rousing Strauss piece is reaching its crescendo in Maningpool
Civic Hall, the talented yet obnoxious conductor Sir Noel Grampian is
shot dead in full view of the Municipal Orchestra and the audience. It
was no secret that he had many enemies – musicians and music critics
among them – but to be killed in mid flow suggests an act of the
coldest calculation.
Told through the letters and documents sent by D.I. Alan Hope to his
wife as he puzzles through the dauntingly vast pool of suspects and
scant physical evidence in the case, this is an innovative and playful
mystery underscored by the author’s extensive experience of the
highly-strung world of music professionals. First published in 1941,
this new edition returns Farr’s only crime novel to print to receive
its long-deserved encore.
