Language Russian

Author Josephine Tey

Narrator Elena Ufimtseva

A man is stabbed to death right in the queue for theatre tickets. Not a single document is on him, and, it seems, no one even intends to look for him. What’s more, all the labels have been neatly cut off his expensive clothing. There is no name for the dead man, and no clear reason for the crime. Does that mean the investigation is doomed and the case will join the list of “cold cases”? Almost everyone is certain it will be—except Inspector Grant.

Josephine Tey is rightly considered one of the best in the genre of psychological detective fiction: in her prose restrained irony is combined with precise observations and genuine attention to people’s actions and their causes. The series featuring Inspector Alan Grant has earned Tey a reputation as one of the smartest and most perceptive detective writers of the 20th century: her novels are valued not only for their intrigue, but also for their deep insight into characters, morals, and destinies.
