Description: It was to have been just a few quiet days of golf for Henry Gamadge, the charming and genteel consultant on old books, autographs and inks—whose fame in detection surpassed his reputation as a bibliophile. But the script suddenly changed when Amberley Crowden's body was found at the base of a cliff. Only Gamadge doubted that it was an accidental death. Why the dramatic staging? And what role did Amberley's cousin and the troupe of actors at the Cove play in the ensuing strange twists and turns of events? Gamadge deduced that a new script was being written, one of blatant murder and backstage mayhem, and his role was to resolve it all before the final curtain fell on yet another member of this unlikely cast of characters.
