Description

Nineteenth in the long-running mystery series with Dr Launcelot Priestley. >The motor-cruiser *Alondra* had come over the harbour bar at Riddinghithe with the last of the flood and dropped anchor for the night. The next morning a boatman putting out to do a bit of fishing noticed the body of a man lying across the cabin top. He put his helm down and steered closer to investigate. And then he saw that the man’s head was shattered.… The police are baffled, as they cannot discover anything about the dead man beyond his name and the fact that he was a keen yachtsman. It remains for Dr. Priestley to bring about an entirely unexpected dénouement....
