Inspector Rudge does not encounter many murder cases in the sleepy town of Whynmouth. But when an old sailor lands a rowing boat containing a fresh corpse with a stab wound to the chest, the Inspector’s investigation immediately stalls. The vicar, whose boat the body was found in, is withholding information, and the victim’s niece has disappeared. There is clearly more to this case than meets the eye – even the identity of the victim is doubtful. Inspector Rudge begins to wonder just how many people have contributed to this extraordinary crime and whether he will ever unravel it… In 1931, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and ten other crime writers from the ‘Detection Club’ collaborated in publishing a unique crime novel. In a literary game of consequences, each author would write one chapter. In addition, each of the authors provided their own solution in a sealed envelope, all of which appeared at the end of the book.
