The Man in the Brown Suit

En savoir plus sur le livre

A colorful murder mystery in which a spirited young woman plays amateur sleuth aboard a luxury cruise ship to South Africa. After young Anne Beddingfield witnesses an accidental death in a London tube station--and the bizarre behavior of a man in a brown suit who flees the scene--she becomes convinced that foul play is at work. A woman is found murdered the next day, and the police show no interest in Anne's theory that the two incidents are connected. Spurred by a crytic note dropped by the man in brown, Anne impulsively uses all of her savings to book passage on a cruise ship heading to South Africa. On the voyage, she finds herself at the center of a high-stakes game involving stolen diamonds, high society idlers, a mysteriously attractive young man, and a master criminal and his double-crossing minions.
