description:  Why should a holidaymaker sitting to enjoy a game of village cricket suddenly meet with death in the shape of a flying bullet?That most English of sporting pastimes: a cricket match between two rivalrous village teams. The game has just ended in a closely fought draw and the village green is emptied of all spectators bar one. A dead man is found sitting in a deck chair on the boundary line clearly shot during the match. The man is a stranger with no obvious clue to his identity or that of his killer. Nobody has seen or heard the shot fired. The local police are baffled and call in Scotland Yard. Enter Dr. Manson investigative detective par excellence to solve a seemingly impossible crime.
