Publisher's Synopsis
"...a delightful and witty mystery featuring Roderic Jeffries's much-loved Inspector Alvarez." BOOKLIST When expat Keith Vickers's boat is found empty and drifting out at sea, off the coast of Mallorca, Inspector Alvarez discovers that the man hasn't been seen for several days...so when his body turns up it isn't exactly a surprise to Alvarez that the case is now one of murder. Interviewing the dead man's servants, Alvarez gets the impression of a man with a life too complicated for comfort. And one of the complications is British cabinet minister George Lovell, who was overheard arguing with Vickers on the day of his disappearance.
