First a guest arrives with a dangerously lethal dagger and then, when the gong sounds to announce the start of the game, the victim plays dead in a very convincing manner. Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn believes the unusual dagger is a vital clue to the real-life murder, and soon hes on the trail of a Russian secret society. A Surfeit of Lampreys Like all good aristocrats, the Lampreys are charming but penniless - so a visit from the wealthy head of their family is greatly anticipated. However, their Uncle Gabriel isnt persuaded to part with his money and a row ensues. When a body is found in the lift leading to the Lampreys flat, Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn finds a family immersed in hidden secrets and intrigue. Jeremy Clyde stars as Chief Inspector Alleyn in these BBC Radio dramatisations of two of Ngaio Marshs much-loved mysteries. Contact: [email protected]
