Synopsis: From the Agatha Award-winner for Lifetime Achievement: &“An excellent detective novel in the best British tradition . . . superbly handled.&” —Columbus Dispatch Scotland Yard&’s Henry Tibbett and his beloved Emmy have been traveling and are now headed back to England, where Henry is on the ferry out of Harwich. It&’s a trip Emmy&’s been looking forward to—but her excitement flags when it becomes clear that the cabins are all spoken for, and she and Henry will have to bed down in the &“sleeping lounge&” with a motley collection of their fellow travelers. By morning, one traveler has lost both his life and his fortune in Dutch diamonds. That&’s bad enough, but a few days later, when Emmy&’s unpacking at home, she makes a discovery that puts both Tibbetts in real danger. It will take the combined analytical skills of the CID Chief Superintendent and his sharp-witted wife to get them free of that terrible boat ride . . .&“The author who put the &‘who&’ back in whodunit.&” —Chicago Tribune &“A new queen of crime . . . her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh.&” —Daily Herald &“Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes&’ writing.&” —Mystery Scene
