No one expected a clergyman’s daughter from East Roystead to author a scandalous bestseller, but when Monica Stanton published Desire she quickly got hired at Albion Films. Expecting to adapt her own work, she is instead assigned to help scriptwriter William Cartwright adapt his latest detective novel.

Inexplicably, several mysterious attempts to her life are made, and the world highest paid scenario writer, who was brought in from Hollywood to “punch up” the screenplay on another film, is nearly killed when smoking a poisoned cigarette.

Sir Henry Merrivale helps Chief Inspector Masters to bring home the crimes to their unlikely perpetrator.

John Dickson Carr was an American author of detective fiction, who also wrote using the pseudonyms Carter Dickson, Carr Dickson and Roger Fairbairn. He is generally considered one of the greatest writers of so-called Golden Age of mystery fiction, and a master of the locked room mysteries, in which a detective solves crimes seemingly impossible to solve as they take place in a room with no apparent means of entrance or exit for the perpetrator.
