Publisher's Note Set in a military hospital during the blitz, this novel is one of Brand's most intricately plotted detection puzzles, executed with her characteristic cleverness and gusto. When a patient dies under the anesthetic and later the presiding nurse is murdered, Inspector Cockrill finds himself with six suspects--three doctors and three nurses--and not a discernible motive among them.
Industry Reviews "This is the kind of pleasure, in the traditional grand manner, that you expect form any Christianna Brand story...one of her trickiest." Levine
