A string of suspicious incidents--a Kang-Tse vase broken, a specially commissioned catalog burned, and now a painting slashed--has young Frances Ivory on edge. She suspects that the instigator is her stepsister's husband, Robert Madrigal, but there's not much she can do about it while her father is out of the country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Robert is even interfering in Frances's love life, encouraging her to marry his loathsome assistant. To stop his infernal matchmaking, Frances agrees to a sham engagement with the painter whose work was defaced. But when Robert disappears after a confrontation with the artist, he's found stashed in a cupboard, dead. Frances is now drawn into a mystery that will have her second-guessing her family, her fianc?, and even herself . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Margery Allingham\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light.\" --Agatha Christie \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The best of mystery writers.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Don't start reading these books unless you are confident that you can handle addiction.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Independent\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"One of the finest Golden-Age crime novelists.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Sunday Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 11, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751870824736,"sku":"9781504092081","price":23.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/296218a2b33b010ef124825e16b875b8.webp?v=1779982435","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/black-plumes-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
