The death scene of a West End play goes horribly wrong in front of a matinee audience to which someone has invited a Scotland Yard inspector and his detective friend. But was the heroine shot by the stage gun fired by her jealous lover, or by the mystery man alone in a stage-side box? Apparently neither could have done it… Impossibility is piled on impossibility in the extraordinary plot which contains a new twist in every chapter. Derek Smith’s second novel — which The Washington Post called “a masterpiece” — was written around the time of his debut, Whistle Up the Devil, but remained unpublished until a Japanese fan arranged for a small print run in that country at the turn of the century. Thankfully, LRI has been able to correct this oversight, and the novel is also available as part of the Derek Smith Omnibus, containing all his known writings.
