Down among the dead men

an Inspector Henry Tibbett mystery

Edición de la obra Down Among the Dead Men

> The crusty seafaring folks in the English hamlet of Berrybridge Haven generally agreed: Fog had caused the unfortunate accident that drowned Pete Rawnsley. A few old salts, however, whispered over their pints of bitter in the local pub that it was no accident at all. >The incident was long considered closed when Chief Inspector Henry Tibbett and his wife Emmy visited the hamlet on holiday. But yet another "mishap"--death in a dinghy--reveals the malevolent presence of a cunning killer. Local suspects emerge: the resentful old harbormaster, Herbert Hole; the eccentric aristocrat, Sir Simon Trigg-Willoughby; two boat owners named David Crowther and Colin Street; and the pretty-eyed mate, Anne Petrie. All had boats anchored at Berrybridge Haven, and all had reasons--and opportunities--to kill Pete Rawnsley. What Tibbett found most disturbing was that they all had decided to lie. Who among them was sending victims to watery graves?
