<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For fans of classic detective stories, including the mysteries of Agatha Christie, comes this brilliant first novel set in the exotic world of British theater in the 1930s.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>March 1934. Revered mystery writer Josephine Tey is traveling from Scotland to London for the final week of her play <em>Richard of Bordeaux</em>, the surprise hit of the season, with pacifist themes that resonate in a world still haunted by war. But joy turns to horror when her arrival coincides with the murder of a young woman she had befriended on the train ride--and Tey is plunged into a mystery as puzzling as any in her own works. </p><p>Detective Inspector Archie Penrose is convinced that the killing is connected to the play, and that Tey herself is in danger of becoming a victim of her own success. In the aftermath of a second murder, the writer and the policeman must join together to stop a ruthless killer who will apparently stop at nothing.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Upson's debut is a most promising valentine."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"[A] blithely spirited debut. . . . Upson clearly knows her way around pre-World War II London and the grimy backstages of Covent Garden, and delivers an ending shot through with palpable surprise and emotion."--<em>Los Angeles Times</em><br><br>"Nicola Upson has . . . given us a highly original and elegantly written novel."--P.D. James<br>
