Summary

A classic mystery from the Golden Age of detective fiction.

Beneath the sea cliffs of the south coast, suicides are a sad but common fact. Yet even the hardened coastguard knows something is wrong when a beautiful young film actress is found lying dead on the beach one morning.

Inspector Grant has to take a more professional attitude- death by suicide, however common, has to have a motive - just like murder…

Josephine Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.
