A Shilling For Candles
Author: Josephine Tey
Format: Paperback
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...
