Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Sir John Appleby, retired chief commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police, is visiting Allington Park, a partially restored estate dating back to the reign of Charles I. While exploring a specially built gazebo with the owner, Sir John notices a bundle in the corner of the room. Stooping to examine it, he says grimly, “It’s a man and I think he’s dead.” So begins a chain of events surrounding repeated deaths by misadventure—or perhaps otherwise—that includes a carefree village charity fete, an old castle, and a unique assembly of human oddities among the characters. These and a legendary lost treasure add up to what, in Sir John’s words, “that chap in Baker Street called a two-pipe mystery.”
