Murder, blackmail and drug dealing on the Tiber combine in one of Ngaio Marsh’s liveliest and most evocative novels.

When their guide disappears mysteriously in the depths of a Roman basilica, the members of Mr. Sebastian Mailer’s tour group seem strangely unperturbed. But when a body is discovered in an Etruscan sarcophagus, Superintendent Alleyn, in Rome incognito on the trail of an international drug racket, is very much concerned....

What the critics say

"The brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers." ( Times Literary Supplement)
"Excellent Roman detailed background...a lively thriller whodunnit." ( Observer)
"One of her best books for a long time...keeps us guessing most craftily." ( Daily Telegraph)
"Superintendent Alleyn is as devastating as ever." ( Sunday Telegraph)
"Blackmail and drug-dealing on the Tiber.... Fastidious writing, telling character sketches, a fine appreciation of place." ( Sunday Times)

Most Relevant
A quite good story, a giant plot hole that you could drive a bus and half the word count through, and also an unintentionally funny window into the mores and values of our recent ancestors.

I will listen to this book more than once; it was quite entertaining.

Agatha Christie-esque
