Résumé
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, it&’s 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, he&’ll have to sort through accusations, town gossip, and mysterious stories surrounding the ancient Cursing Stones . . .
