Inspector Cleveland of New Scotland has a murder, a suspect, a written confession, and an open-and-shut case -- and a major problem. The woman who confessed to the killing -- Delia Russell -- probably didn't do the deed, at least to his way of thinking. Too many things just don't add up. And then there is the American connection . . .
Who are the real killers? And why does Delia keep insisting that she committed the crime?
Another classic crime novel by a master of the genre!
