Sinossi
Jeremy Ransom isn't your usual police detective: Given to reading Dickens while bathing, to consulting with his adopted grandmother, Emily Charters, when he's puzzled, and known for his "attitude," Ransom is one of a kind. Unless, of course, you can picture Sherlock Holmes taking a day job with the Chicago police department.
So, when he's visited by Angela Stephens, who tells him she's going to be murdered and hints that her husband will be the killer, Ransom looks askance. When she goes on to say that the murder is in the cards - after all, her fortune teller had just laid them out and read about it in the pattern - Ransom is prepared to dismiss the entire episode.
But there's no avoiding Angela's corpse the next day, and while he discounts the prophesy, he can't discount the fact that Angela's husband is not just the prime suspect, he's the only one.
Nor can he ignore the fortune teller's corpse.
Embittered and filled with uncomfortable doubts about his own perceptions (and the little lines appearing around his eyes), Jeremy Ransom begins putting the pieces together (helped by the insights and Shakespearian quotes served with tea by Emily). He is too late to stop the bloodshed, but right on time to be an avenging angel.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 237 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 12") bound in original publisher's red boards with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The street signs outside Detective Jeremy Ransom's office say it's Chicago, but inside -- and inside his mind and heart and speech -- it's rural England circa 1930. Ransom's second case turns on a riddle with all the earmarks of a British cozy: How did Melina, the tarot reader Angela Stephens consulted on the last clay of her life, know Angela was about to be murdered? It's no good asking Melina: Before she has time for more than a brisk sniff or two, she's followed her late client into the spirit realm. And Ransom and his surrogate grandmother, Emily Charters, whose life he saved in their debut (Presence of Mind, 1994), are left with two deeply unpromising suspects: the transparently grief-stricken widower, Frank Stephens, and Angela's bad-girl sister, Eva Brinkley, who didn't inherit a thing and boasts a shockproof alibi anyway. Emily's not much help this time, and Ransom's improbable charm -- he must be the politest cop in Chicago annals -- grows a little pale. The plot is a perfectly good short-story idea stretched as thin as that last smidgen of marmalade. Condition: Remainder stamp at front end paper else a near fine copy in a fine jacket.
