In 1939, a minor poet called Philip Ploss is murdered at his home near London and a young Scottish woman travelling to visit relatives near Perth hears somebody on the train misquoting Swinburne. The connection puts her in deadly danger. Part mystery and part spy story in the style of "The Thirty-Nine Steps", for me it's not one of Innes's best, though I am always willing to enter his world of urbane intellectuals and characters hovering on the borders between eccentricity and outright lunacy. This world probably never existed but as a teenager I desperately wanted to be part of it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It is more interesting as a documentation of a specific historical time than as a mystery.
