Walking on the sand before breakfast, Carolus Deene's cousin Fay, who
was staying on the Suffolk coast, had come upon the head of Lilliane
Bomberger, the celebrated and universally detested novelist. The body
was buried in the sand with only the head protruding; at least one tide
had washed over it. Before this frustrating case ends, three murders are
committed. This is vintage Bruce, mixing thrills and chills with unique
humor.
