A LOCKED ROOM.
AN AUDACIOUS THEFT.
A BLOODY CORPSE...

November 1954. Sir Henry Fox-Strangways has invited old friends and colleagues to Dartstone Manor to show off his cabinet of curiosities. Amongst a collection of artefacts from a thousand years of European history, the cabinet's centrepiece is the magnificent 12th-century astrolabe of Swiss astronomer, Albrecht Wolfe.

The guests assemble, dinner is served, music plays, and the cabinet of treasures is revealed. The following morning, however, reveals a grim scene. Behind the locked drawing room door, the Wolfe astrolabe is gone, and Sir Henry lies on the fireside rug, dead from a gunshot wound to the chest.

THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, a classic murder mystery set on the edge of Dartmoor, introduces Hilary Stamp, unflappable and courageous wartime SOE operative, turned brilliant private detective.

Lindsay has a real ear for dialogue, and a highly visual imagination. Sunday Mirror
