A visiting dignitary in London asks for securityāand gets extra help from a clever felineāin a novel starring āthe nonpareil among criminal investigatorsā (The New York Times).
Superintendent Alleynās old school chum, nicknamed the āBoomer,ā has become the president of the newly emerged African nation of Ngāombwana, newly emerged in the wake of colonialism. Old school ties being what they are, his friendāmaking an official visit to Londonāinsists that Alleyn handle his security, rather than Her Majestyās Special Branch. The Special Branch is not best pleased about this, as the Boomer is known to have some very deadly enemies, and the threats only increase when the Ngāombwanan ambassador is killed. Happily for the Boomer, not only is Alleyn up to the task, but he is assisted by a rescued cat who proves extremely adept at finding clues . . .
āThe brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers.ā āTimes Literary Supplement
