A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Beneath the sea cliffs of the south coast, suicides are a sad but common fact. Yet even the hardened coastguard knows something is wrong when a beautiful young film actress is found lying dead on the beach one morning.

Inspector Grant has to take a more professional attitude: death by suicide, however common, has to have a motive - just like murder...

'Richly rewarding ... a joy absolute' New York Times

'Josephine Tey has always been absolutely reliable in producing original and mysterious plots with interesting characters and unguessable endings' Spectator

'Witty, ingenious, and makes one regret that there will be no more from the same pen' Sphere

Biographie de l'auteur :

Josephine Tey is one of the best-known and best-loved of all crime writers. She began to write full-time after the successful publication of her first novel, The Man in the Queue (1929), which introduced Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard. In 1937 she returned to crime writing with A Shilling for Candles, but it wasn't until after the Second World War that the majority of her crime novels were published. Josephine Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.
