Penguin Books, 1982
Paperback, 159 pages
Condition is Good, maybe Good Minus. The spine is not creased. The front cover opens very easily so handle it with care. Covers are tanning on the inside. Pages have no writing, tears or dog-ears. Not gift quality, but a fun read.
"When his car breaks down on a deserted road, Sir John Appleby wanders up a drive in search of help. Suddenly, a palatial residence appears before him, its every window blazing. In the dining room, candles are lit, champagne is on ice, and dinner is waiting. But not a sound is heard. Anywhere.
"Appleby, retired chief of Scotland Yard, is about to embark on one of his strangest adventures ever. In his usual urbane manner Sir John confronts an absent-minded professor, a mysterious lady in white, South American conspirators, several murderers … and their victims."
