'Cleo's disappearance is particularly worrying, for not only is she physically attractive, she's also mentally retarded. Even so, her brother Hilton, who's old enough to be her father and behaves like one, is over-possessive. When he found his son Ted in bed with Cleo (they're about the same age), he ordered Ted to leave home: much to his wife's fury, and she warns Hilton that he has to choose between the two women in his life. But it's Cleo who leaves, to find refuge with her school counsellor, Roger, of whom it has been said that he's "as gay as a goose". It's this tricky tangle or relationships that Margaret Millar's young lawyer and amateur investigator, Tom Aragon (whom we know from The Murder of Miranda and Ask For Me Tomorrow), has to explore when he is engaged by Hilton to find Cleo. Along the way, he finds himself in a murder investigation; and he ends up in the ocean after a shoot-up on a millionaire's yacht. But all's well: he survives for Miss Millar's next case, and meanwhile this one has sparked and crackled along, wittily and excitingly, to a surprising conclusion. Once again Miss Millar writes with teasing brilliance.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction, Modern First Editions.; Fiction, Mystery. ISBN: 0575030933.
