Description

A sailing trip turns into a murder investigation when Inspector Tibbett smells something fishy...

Inspector Henry Tibbett and his wife, Emmy, are enjoying a holiday on a friend's yacht, lazily sailing from one little English sea-town to the next.

It should all be delicious indolence... except that Tibbett can't stop thinking about death. Well, one death in particular. The death of a local sailor.

And he really can't stop thinking about it when it begins to look as though the drowned sailor is somehow connected to the robbery at a nearby manor house.

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers or Margery Allingham.
