I take pleasure in informing you that you have been chosen as murderer for Group No 1. Please follow these instructions with as great exactness as possible.

On his way to visit the dean at Yorkville University, Assistant Chief Inspector Foyle seems to stumble across a murder, or at least the plans for one.

Chalking it all up to a gag (because real killers don’t use the word ‘murder’), Foyle is horrified to learn about the death of Dr Kinradi, a scientist at the campus.

Though it looks like a suicide, Foyle isn’t so sure, and Dr Basil Willing, psychologist and sleuth, is called in to aid the investigation.

With motives and murder piling up, the pair must solve the case before more lives are put at risk.

 Set in WWII and filled with secrets and espionage, The Main in the Moonlight is part of Agora Books’ Uncrowned Queens of Crime series.
