Description:

Trade paperback. Inspector Shade of the Wellington police was mildly disturbed when a young bohemian artist who also had the last name of Shade told him about a dead man she had seen on the local train. Surely she was making it all up. No one else reported such a thing. But as the pieces of this ingenious puzzle all started to fall into place, Inspector Shade found himself caught up in murder, mayhem, and more than a little intrigue as he tried to help the young woman stay alive. The trouble was — she might be the killer! Ramble House brings back this classic Kiwi mystery written by Harriet Hunter and hopes to also reprint her only other mystery, CASE FOR PUNISHMENT. Stay tuned.
