Her name stands on a par with such recognized classics of the genre as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Seyers. For her literary achievements, she was awarded the title of lady-commander of the Order of the British Empire.
The famous jazzman Carlos River was shot down right during the concert. And it so happened that the inspector Roderik Alleyn was during the commission of a crime among the audience! But who is the killer? Lord Pastern-i-Baggott, who did everything for the promotion of the jazzband of Carlos, and in return received only black ingratitude? The stern spouse of the Lord, Lady Cecile, who discovered that Rivera was spinning an affair with her daughter, beauty Felis? Or is someone else from many enemies and envious people of the famous musician?
