| Description: |
The seventh in the Joe Sandilands murder mystery series |
| Synopsis: |
Folies Bergere, Paris, December 1926 and Joe hurries to the assistance of an old friend who has been arrested for murder. In a cell of the Quai des Orfevres he meets with Sir George Jardine, still in the evening dress stained with the blood of the dead man. The only other witness, a blonde who was sharing the victim's box, has vanished. Assistance for Joe comes from an entirely unexpected quarter - Francine, a young usherette, clawing her way into the world of the Paris Music Hall. It is she who becomes Joe's guide through this treacherous place where Joe is sure the killer is lurking. Praise for Barbara Cleverly's Previous Novels 'Colourful historical detail with a modern rendition of the classic mystery novel' The Observer. 'Cleverly's (novel) evokes and in some ways surpasses, the work of Agatha Christie.' Publishers Weekly 'A well-plotted novel...The atmosphere of the dying days of the Raj is colourfully captured.' Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph 'The historical background is as fascinating as the murder. Stiff upperlip soldiers, American heiresses, handsome Afghan tribesmen - they are all here in spades. A great blood and guts blockbuster.'Guardian 'Solidly plotted throughout, with lots of energy and all period accoutrements up to scratch and true to the Raj.' Literary Review |
