Find out in this "consistently entertaining crime debut from sci-fi veteran Brown" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>).</b><br /> <br /> London, 1955. When crime writer Donald Langham's literary agent asks for his help in sorting out "a delicate matter," little does Langham realize what he's getting himself into. For a nasty case of blackmail leads inexorably to murder as London's literary establishment is rocked by a series of increasingly bizarre deaths. With three members of the London Crime Writers' Association coming to sudden and violent ends, what at first appeared to be a series of suicides looks suspiciously like murder—and there seems to be something horribly familiar about the various methods of dispatch.<br /> <br /> With the help of his literary agent's assistant, the delectable Maria Dupre, Langham finds himself drawing on the skills of his fictional detective hero as he hunts a ruthless and fiendishly clever killer—a killer with old scores to settle.<br /> <br /> "A well-paced first mystery. Readers will hope a sequel is in the works." —<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p>. Media Type: eBook.
