description: Murder! the letter says Come at once. Anson House Greyminster Staircase No. 3. How can Flavia de Luce resist such an urgent plea? After all examining a dead body sounds like a perfectly splendid way to spend a Sunday. So Flavia hops upon her trusted bicycle Gladys whose rubber tires hiss happily along the rainy road and arrives at her fathers mist-shrouded old school. There a terrified boy leads her to the loo where sitting in a bathtub is what appears to be a statue. But no: To Flavias surprise the thing is in fact a naked dead man. Save his face he seems to have been carved out of copper. Never one to shy away from the macabre Flavia gets to workonly to find that when an investigation begins with a metallic cadaver ever more curious twists are to be expected.
