description: Staff, guests and furnishings retain an elite Edwardian atmosphere "dignified, unostentatious, and quietly expensive" in 1955. But guest Miss Jane Marple overhears fast platinum beauty Lady Bess Sedgewick threaten to shoot doorman Irish decorated soldier Michael Gorman if he publicly remembers their wild past in Ballygowlan, and uneasily observes more than average identities mistaken in the lobby. Inspector benevolent-mannered "Father" Davy investigates major robberies, too many coincidental nearby witnesses of well-known Bertram visitors alibied elsewhere, searches for a mastermind criminal organization.This edition is part of the Bantam Agatha Christie Mystery Collection leatherette-bound set with gold emblems front and spine on dark navy texture, marbled inside papers, front and back.
