It was a bizarre pose for beautiful model Sonia Gluck--and her last. For 
in the draperies of her couch lay a fatal dagger, and behind her murder 
lies all the intrigue and acid-etched temperament of an artist's colony. 
Called in to investigate, Scotland Yard's Inspector Roderick Alleyn finds
 his own passions unexpectedly stirred by the fiesty painter Agatha 
Troy--brilliant artist and suspected murderess. First published in 1938
