Inspector McNeeve is at his wits' end. A series of jewel robberies is currently the plague of fashionable society - valuable items are being stolen from town and country houses alike, and disappearing without trace. And when McNeeve is killed during a visit to the theatre, it seems the criminal has added murder to his list of misdemeanours. As the jewel robberies continue, McNeeve's colleague Superintendent Beck joins forces with police surgeon Dr Peter Blayne to solve the mystery. To discover the solution, the pair find themselves venturing not only into the stately homes of England's richest citizens, but also behind the scenes of London's theatreland...
Originally published in 1934, this is a vintage murder mystery from the golden age of British crime fiction.
