Publisher's Synopsis
Someone strangled crazy old Aunt Lottie as she sat in the lobby of her hotel. Each of the boarders is mentioned in her will - and all of their alibis are weak. Enter Professor John Stubbs, the pipe-smoking, beer-swilling amateur detective, who's determined to exonerate his drinking buddy, the will's chief beneficiary. Humor and poetic turns of phrase highlight this atmospheric mystery, set in postwar London. First time published in the U.S.!
