Death on the Air and Other Stories - Tapa blanda

THE ALLEYN MYSTERIES

A man dies with his hand on a radio dial. A disguised aristocrat finds murder at the opening night of a play. A cryptogram produces death in an English churchyard.

'Death on the Air and Other Stories' serves both as a perfect introduction to Ngaio Marsh and her creation Inspector Roderick Alleyn and as a nostalgic journey for their many fans. The book concludes with a script written for the television series 'Crown Court', plus two pieces new to this paperback edition.

"Ngaio Marsh worked largely within the conventions of the golden age detective story but transcended the genre by the power of her writing. The excellent use she makes of her own experience and interests, and the rich variety of characters who people her novels. The best of her books will endure."
P.D.JAMES

"The finest writer in the English language of the pure, classical puzzle whodunnit. Among the crime queens, Ngaio Marsh stands out as an express."
