The Lampreys were a charming, eccentric, happy-go-lucky family, teetering on the edge of financial ruin. Until the gruesome murder of their uncle--an unpleasant Marquis, who met his untimely death while leaving the Lamprey flat--left them with a fortune. Now it's up to Inspector Roderick Alleyn to sift through the alibis to discover which Lamprey hides a ruthless killer behind an amiable facade. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
