'Not just the first of the tough school of crime-writing but the best' THE TIMES

Miss Gabriel Dain Leggett is young and wealthy, with a penchant for morphine and religious cults. She also has an unfortunate effect on the people around her. They die - violently.

This is the Continental Op's most bizarre case and a tautly crafted masterpiece of suspense.
