Dalla quarta di copertina:

THE ALLEYN MYSTERIES

It started as a student exercise, the knife under the drape, the model's pose chalked in place.

But before Agatha Troy, artist and instructor, returns to the class, the pose has been re-enacted in earnest. The model will never move again.

It's a difficult case for Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn. He's in love with Agatha Troy but no one can be above suspicion...

"The queen of the straight crime novel...long may she reign!"
SUNDAY TIMES

"The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an express."
