Description
The husband-and-wife sleuths leave London and take on crime in the Caribbean: "One of the deftest practitioners of the British procedural detective novel." --The New York Times Book Review Detective Chief Superintendent Henry Tibbett and his wife, Emmy, have escaped the London winter to bask in the Caribbean sunshine. They have an ulterior motive for the trip, though--to try to help their elderly friend who says she's being targeted by a cocaine ring. While keeping up the pretense of being show more clueless, wealthy tourists, the couple pokes around amid the palm trees--and goes to dangerous lengths to find the truth, which will involve Henry himself posing as a drug runner . . . "A new queen of crime . . . her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh." --Daily Herald "Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes' writing." --Mystery Scene show lessTags
