About this book

A quiet stretch of English coastline turns deadly when Sir Clinton Driffield, the chief constable with a talent for logical deduction, arrives at the Lynden Sands hotel for a holiday. Bodies begin appearing on the beach, and the tangled affairs of the local gentry, a disputed inheritance, and a claimant with a suspicious past knot together into one of Connington's most intricate puzzles. Working alongside his friend Wendover, Driffield reads the evidence written into footprints, tide tables, and timing with the patience of a scientist. Published in 1928, the novel is prized by golden-age readers for playing fair with its clues while keeping the solution locked away until the final pages.
