Publisher's Synopsis
Alvarez takes his time as usual
Stayforth House in England had been inherited by the oldest son, Jerome, but he had allowed his younger brother, Charles, to live in his caseta in Mallorca. When Jerome died, however, his wife, Heloise, was less generous. When Dora Coates visits the caseta in search of Heloise and is drowned in the bay, Inspector Alvarez must persuade his chief not to jump to conclusions too hastily.
