The Man in the Queue

Winner of the Dutton Mystery Prize

London is abuzz as the beautiful Ray Marcable’s final shows at the West End approach. Before she jets off to perform in America everyone in the city is clamoring to see her once more. The lines wrap around the street and crowds are tightly knit together. One fateful night, just as he is nearing the box office, a man drops to the ground—dead. Although a knife protrudes from his back and there were countless potential witnesses, no one knows the poor man and no one saw who did the deadly deed.

It is up to Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard to solve this case. Riddled with false leads and misleading clues, this mystery from Josephine Tey, one of the bestselling authors from the Golden Age of detective fiction, will take the witty Inspector Grant on a wild journey worthy of his first appearance in literature.
