It was no secret that he had many enemies  musicians and music critics among them  but to be killed in mid flow suggests an act of the coldest calculation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold through the letters and documents sent by D.I. Alan Hope to his wife as he puzzles through the dauntingly vast pool of suspects and scant physical evidence in the case, this is an innovative and playful mystery underscored by the author's extensive experience of the highly-strung world of music professionals. First published in 1941, this new edition returns Farr's only crime novel to print to receive its long-deserved encore. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46804221952158,"sku":"ADS-9780712354028","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780712354028.jpg?v=1778207260","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780712354028","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
