Description
Professor Alistair Dirke thought himself a reasonable man. He could scarcely acknowledge the suspicion that was beginning to grow in his mind every time he saw his wife Rose with his friend Pau lEckleston. Paul seemed to be there very often these days…
Yet soon a still more terrible suspicion was to grow and spread through the little community of Rollway, where the Dirkes had hitherto lived in peace with their neighbours. A man was murdered and a valuable collection of coins disappeared.
Once again, Elizabeth Ferrars has created a realistic world of interesting ordinary people whose lives are disrupted by events that are violent yet credible. She has posed a problem that is original and fascinating.
First published in 1958.
