Enter a Murderer (Roderick Alleyn Series)

The Crime was committed on stage at the Unicorn Theatre, when an unloaded gun fired a very real bullet. The victim was Arthur Surbanadier, an actor clawing his way to stardom using Blackmail victims. The stage was set for one of Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn's most baffling cases.

Ngaio Marsh was classed—along with Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, and Dorothy L. Sayers—as one of the four original "Queens of Crime," female British crime writers who dominated the crime fiction genre in the 1920s and 1930s.
