Stratford-on-Avon is more renowned for its Shakespeare than its slaughter. And, despite its name, The Dirty Duck pub had enjoyed a blameless reputation until an innocent American tourist took her last drink there before being brutally murdered. Superintendent Richard Jury, visiting friends in the neighbourhood, finds himself at the centre of the hunt for the killer. The only clue is a blood-stained theatre program, left on the victim's body.
With the welcome assistance of the aristocratic Melrose Plant - and the very unwelcome attentions of Plant's formidable Aunt Agatha - Jury must track down a murderer who intends to kill, and kill again, until he has achieved his deadly ends . . .
