Publisher Description
On his train back to Scotland for a well-earned rest, Inspector Grant learns that a fellow passenger, one Charles Martin, has been found dead. It looks like a case of misadventure - but Grant is not so sure. Teased by some enigmatic lines of verse that the deceased had apparently scrawled on a newspaper, he follows a trail to the remote Outer Hebrides.
And though it is the end of his holiday, it is also the beginning of an intriguing investigation into the bizarre circumstances shrouding Charles Martin's death...
Customer Reviews
Not a Fisherman’s Tale
Joesephine Tey is the most elegant of detective novelists. Although there is crime and detection, in this book she strays into the territory occupied with distinction by John Buchan and there is a peaty flavour of John MacNab in the enjoyable Scottish passages. This is not a great detective story but Inspector Grant is someone to pass an evening with and metaphorically share a Speyside malt.
