The Cursing Stones Murder

English

By (author): Amy McElroy George Bellairs

A body surfaces off the Isle of Man in a puzzling mystery by the master of the pure British detective story (The New York Times).

The Manx Shearwater was scallop dredging--but it dragged up a body from the water instead. Considering that the corpse was tied at the ankles and weighed down with stones, its clear this was no accidental drowning--and now the locals are in an uproar.

The victim appears to be Cedric Levis, who had an extravagant house and a reputation for philandering. Was Levis murdered for his money--or was this a crime of passion? Under the pretext of a holiday, Chief Inspector Littlejohn is invited by his old friend Archdeacon Kinrade to unofficially assist with the murder investigation--but to separate fact from fiction, hell have to sort through accusations, town gossip, and mysterious stories surrounding the ancient Cursing Stones.
