Married, with three children, he lives in an Agatha Christie-style village in West Sussex, England. Text for Book description: Tristam Gowers and Yves Lafeu have the flamboyance of stage matinee idols, but currently they are running a very smart restaurant, Tryst, which is much patronized by top people in the theatrical profession. Which means its not Charles Pariss usual ambience, but this small-part player, whos more successful as an amateur detective than as professional actor, is the guest tonight of another fascinating duo, William Bartlemas and Kevin ORourke, wealthy collectors of theatrical memorabilia. And he is in at the death: the gruesome murder of Yves. It seems to be an open and shut case. Tristam caught the night boat to France within hours of a spectacular public quarrel with Yves over a pretty youth, and now he has disappeared. But of course theres much more to it than that: much more, as Charles discovers when he begins to investigate.Text for Review Box: "Great entertainment."
