The Lampreys thought if they jollied him up he would bail them out of poverty again. But Uncle Gabriel meets a violent end, and Chief Inspector Alleyn had to work out which of them killed him… DEATH AND THE DANCING FOOTMANIt begins as an entertainment: eight people, many of them adversaries, gathered for a winter weekend by a host with a love for theatre. It ends in snowbound disaster. Everyone has an alibi – and a motive as well.

Even the spies he'd thwarted…Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionBook Series: Ngaio Marsh CollectionTopic: Crime Thrillers & MysteryRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
