Synopsis
The whole art colony at Salcott St. Mary would have agreed with popular authoress Lavinia Finch when she remarked about her American guest: “I’m sure he must have been something very wicked in ancient Greece.”
The too-handsome, rich, famous Leslie Searle had created havoc at Salcott. He was about to break up an engagement and ruin a smug broadcaster; he'd already insulted a leading playwright and caused a public scandal.
Then - without reason or warning - he disappeared. And Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard was called in to investigate a case of possible amnesia, suicide, or homicide!

Josephine Tey
1896–1952
Josephine Tey is one of the best-known and best-loved of all crime writers. She began to write full-time after the successful publication of her first novel, The Man in the Queue (1929), which introduced Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard. In 1937 she returned to crime writing with A Shilling for Candles, but it wasn't until after the Second World War that the majority of her crime novels were published. Josephine Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.
