When Professor Julius Arnell breathes his last in the hushed atmosphere of the British Museum Reading Room, it looks like death from natural causes. Who, after all, would have cause to murder a retired academic whose life was devoted to Elizabethan literature? Inspector Shelley's suspicions are aroused when he finds a packet of poisoned sugared almonds in the dead man's pocket; and a motive becomes clearer when he discovers Arnell's connection to a Texan oil millionaire.Soon another man plunges hundreds of feet into a reservoir on a Yorkshire moor. What can be the connection between two deaths so different, and so widely separated? The mild-mannered museum visitor Henry Fairhurst adds his detective talents to Inspector Shelley's own, and together they set about solving one of the most baffling cases Shelley has ever encountered.

Etat : As New. : En la atmósfera enrarecida de la sala de lectura del Museo Británico, el profesor Julius Arnell exhala su último aliento, lo que parece una muerte por causas naturales. ¿Quién, después de todo, tendría motivos para asesinar a un académico jubilado cuya vida estaba dedicada a la literatura isabelina? Las sospechas del inspector Shelley se despiertan cuando encuentra un paquete de almendras garrapiñadas envenenadas en el bolsillo del difunto; y un motivo se aclara cuando descubre la conexión de Arnell con un millonario petrolero de Texas.Pronto, otro hombre se hunde cientos de pies en un embalse en un páramo de Yorkshire. ¿Cuál puede ser la conexión entre dos muertes tan diferentes y tan separadas? El apacible visitante del museo, Henry Fairhurst, añade su talento detectivesco al del propio inspector Shelley, y juntos se disponen a resolver uno de los casos más desconcertantes que Shelley haya encontrado jamás.
