Death at the Bar

At an English pub, a dart becomes a deadly weapon

"Any Ngaio Marsh story is certain to be Grade A." —The New York Times

A game of darts does involve some danger, but it''s rarely lethal.

But Inspector Roderick Alleyn has a growing hunch that this peculiar "accident" can be traced to an old legal case . ."

A peerless practitioner of the slightly surreal, English-village comedy-mystery
