Sun-soaked Havana sets the stage for a high-society puzzle when a notorious New York socialite meets a sudden, violent end inside her own extravagant estate.
After leaving a trail of tabloid headlines back home, Mrs. Dora Breese relocates her eclectic group of family, retainers, and a young actor to a luxurious tropical villa. But the lavish retreat transforms into a trap when she turns up shot through the heart behind heavily guarded, locked doors. With no visible weapon and a tight circle of companions hiding financial ruin, bounced checks, and old grudges, a sharp-witted press agent and local investigators must unravel a tangle of shifting alibis before the murderer escapes.
Authored by prominent journalist and playwright Samuel Spewack, this 1929 classic brings all the sharp dialogue, jazz-age energy, and clever plotting that define the golden era of detective fiction. Presented here by Retold Press in a modern, easy-to-read format, this forgotten gem lets you enjoy a vintage mystery without squinting at tiny historical type.
