"A long queue had formed for London's favourite musical comedy, but as the line began to move forward, one man keeled over, a small silver dagger neatly plunged into his back. So begins Inspector Alan Grant's first spectacular case."--Provided by publisher.

“IT WAS BETWEEN seven and eight o'clock on a March evening, and all over London the bars were being drawn back from pit and gallery doors.”
Josephine Tey is one of the best-known and best-loved of all crime writers. She began to write full-time after the successful publication of her first novel, The Man in the Queue (1929), which introduced Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard. In 1937 she returned to crime writing with A Shilling for Candles, but it wasn't until after the Second World War that the majority of her crime novels were published. Josephine Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.
