It's up to the clever Dr Pons - with his sharp wit and knack for impossible puzzles - to get to the bottom of the case, even as every new piece of evidence seems to suggest more perplexing possibilities.'Ingenious . . . A satisfyingly complex solution to both crimes' - Booklist 'Extravagantly brainy, gloriously dated' - Kirkus
