Seller's Description:
New. Trade Paperback 1st US edition (originally published in England in 1952). Shakespearean actor Abercrombie Lewker turns sleuth when a fellow climber dies in an explosion in the shadow of Mount Snowdon. Since he knew David Webhouse, a member of Parliament, only slightly and never much cared for him, Abercrombie Lewker is surprised to be invited to Plas Mawr, Webhouse's estate in northern Wales, for a long weekend houseparty on the eve of their impending knighthood. The day after he confides in Lewker that he believes his life to be in danger, Webhouse dies while crossing a nearby footbridge that has been boobytrapped with explosives. Lewker and his old friend Detective-Inspector George Grimmett are perplexed: although nobody liked Webhouse and many would benefit from his death, it's impossible to find a logical suspect who could have engineered the fatal explosion. Reluctantly Lewker turns his attention away from the enticing mountain scenery and digs deep for a murderer. This is the fourth case for Lewker, considered the foremost Shakespearean actor-manager of his day as well as a noted mountaineer. First published in United Kingdom in 1952, it makes its first American appearance here.
