Last Ditch (Roderick Alleyn Series)

Rickie Alleyn was in the Channel Islands to write, but village life was tedious - until he saw the stablehand in the ditch. Dead, it seemed, from an unlucky jump. Rickie's father, Chief Superintendent Alleyn, was summoned to the scene.

From her first book in 1934 to her final volume just before her death in 1982, Ngaio Marsh's work has remained legendary, and is often compared to that of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. During her celebrated fifty-year career, Marsh was made a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, was named Dame Commander, Order of the British Empire, won numerous prestigious awards, and penned 32 mystery novels.

Now St. Martin's Dead Letter Mysteries is thrilled to make all of Marsh's novels available again for old fans to relish and new ones to discover. So sit back, draw the curtains, lock the doors, and put yourself in the hands of Grande Dame of detective novels...
