In 1950s London, a literary agent finds fame when he secretly steals a young woman's brilliant novel manuscript and publishes it under his own name, Lewis Carson.

When a dead body is found at a remote writers' retreat, the local police and coroner quickly rule the cause of death as suicide. But the other writers at the retreat embark on an evening of squabbling about the death and its motive.. Series: CONTRABAND POCKET CRIME COLLEC. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: FA. .
