Artists In Crime

When murder upsets the creative tranquility of an artists' colony, Scotland Yard sends in its most famous investigator. And what begins as a routine case turns out to be the most momentous of Roderick Alleyn's career. For before he can corner the killer, his heart is captured by one of the suspects - the flashing-eyed painter Agatha Troy, who has nothing but scorn for the art of detection....Artists in Crime was first published in 1938.
