Vintage Fair Condition - Covers are heavily browned, soiled and creased with worn corners. The front hinge is split, with spotting on some pages. Dated 1981.
Visitors arriving to tour Ornum House expect rooms, armour and the attractions of a stately home. They do not expect to find a body hidden in a suit of armour. Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan's examination of the apparently entertaining discovery soon makes it clear that the family's archivist has been murdered. Within the house, history and personal relationships provide plenty of distractions, but one of the people connected with those corridors knows far more about the death than they admit. Catherine Aird places a traditional murder puzzle in a setting where appearances are carefully preserved. Sloan must separate the house's public spectacle from the private motives behind a very real killing.
