In the plush Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, law officers are assembled to discuss the control of drug smuggling. Among them is the intrepid Inspector Henry Tibbett, using the occasion to combine business and a holiday with his wife, Emmy.

But when an important official is found slumped across his desk, a dagger in his back, the investigation becomes uncomfortably intimate. The suspects are Henry’s colleagues, acquaintances, and dinner companions – and Tibbett finds himself unable to account for his whereabouts.

Daily Herald

'One of the deftest practitioners of the British procedural detective novel' 

New York Times

'Gripping … very neatly worked out' 

Evening Standard

'Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters'

Mystery Scene

'Really good detection'

The Spectator

'Ingenious and elegant, with nary a trace of formula'

Kirkus

'Patricia Moyes tells great tales in fascinating settings, and her Scotland Yard detective, Henry Tibbett, is perhaps the most believable of anyone detecting in this decade'

Los Angeles Times
