When Lord Pastern Bagott takes up with the hot music of Breezy Bellair and
his Boys, his disapproving wife Cecile has more than usual to be unhappy about.
The band's devastatingly handsome but roguish accordionist, Carlos Rivera, has
taken a rather intense and mutual interest in her precious daughter Felicite. So
when a bit of strange business goes awry and actually kills him, it's lucky that
Inspector Roderick Alleyn is in the audience. Now Alleyn must follow a confusing
score that features a chorus of family and friends desperate to hide the truth and
perhaps shelter a murderer in their midst.
Ngaio Marsh, a native New Zealander whose name means "flowering tree" in Maori, was a detective story writer and theatrical producer. She was awarded the Order of the British Empire for her classic mysteries. The continuing popularity of her hero, Scotland Yard's Inspector Roderick Alleyn, has assured her a lasting place among the world's top mystery authors.
Nadia May has been nominated as an AudioFile Golden Voice five years running and is a winner of thirteen AudioFile Earphones Awards. She is the co-founder of TheatreFirst, a theater company in the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently lives.
