"The renowned British author of Death on the Agenda delivers a "stunning finish with a return-from-the-dead trap. Very lively and zestful" ( Observer ).

For starters, we have a weekend house party, that hallmark of Golden Age crime-fiction, and apparently still going strong in 1970, when this book was first published. The party is in honor of a certain Lady Balaclava, herself something of a hallmark of the Golden Age, and still, yes, going strong.
