The small community of Castletown has plenty of odd customs-one being the office of Deemster, who serves as every sort of judge rolled into one. When Inspector Littlejohn arrives on the island for a sporting holiday, this particular custom is brought to his attention with the utmost urgency . . . because Deemster Quantrell has just been killed. The local police are glad to have the hotshot from Scotland Yard take the lead on such a perplexing case. Though the deemster was beloved by all, someone went to great lengths to poison him with cyanide in his private lunch room. As the investigation uncovers dark secrets and hidden crimes, other victims meet their end. And Littlejohn must act fast before a ruthless killer strikes again. George Bellairs is the pseudonym under which Harold Blundell (1902–1982) wrote police procedural thrillers in rural British settings. He was born in Lancashire, England, and worked as a bank manager in Manchester. After retiring, Bellairs moved to the Isle of Man, where several of his novels are set, to be with friends and family. In 1941 Bellairs wrote his first mystery, Littlejohn on Leave, during spare moments at his air raid warden's post. The title introduced Thomas Littlejohn, the detective who appears in fifty-seven of his novels. Bellairs was also a regular contributor to the Manchester Guardian and worked as a freelance writer for newspapers both local and national.
