SynopsisThe slashing of a valuable painting at the renowned Ivory Gallery in London, one of the most prestigious art galleries in the world - followed by the murder of the proprietor's son-in-law, Robert, sets the stage for another finely tuned Allingham mystery. The proprietor's mother, 90-year-old Gabrielle Ivory, holds the key to the web of intrigue and danger that permeates the gallery. Gabrielle Ivory was once a society beauty. But now, nearing 90, she's largely disregarded by the younger members of the Ivory clan, who like to imagine Granny as rather a relic of a dead era. That's a mistake, and it's not their only one. A series of malicious attacks is threatening the Ivory Gallery in London. Robert Ivory and his high-strung wife, frantic to preserve the status-quo, want to chalk it all up to practical jokes gone wrong. But Gabrielle is not inclined to collude in this delusion. A brilliant standalone mystery from the author of the beloved Campion books. Golden Age Crime at its intriguing best., 'My very favourite of the four Queens of Crime is Allingham' - J.K.
