  A classic Ngaio Marsh novel in which she more than lives up to her reputation as a crime writer of intelligence and style.

  It was planned as an act of charity: a new piano for the parish hall, an amusing play to finance the gift.

  But its execution was doomed when Miss Campanula sat down to play. A chord was struck, a shot rang out and Miss Campanula was dead.

  A case of sinister infatuation for the brilliant Chief Detective-Inspector Alleyn.
