'If you thought the Golden Age of crime was dead, think again!' Verity Bright

Agatha Christie is about to embark on a new, gripping murder case. But this time, she's not the author - she's a suspect…

1926 - Christie is a darling of the literary circuit and the most desired guest in London's glittering social scene. She can often be found at meetings of the Detection Club - where mystery writers come together to share ideas, swap secrets and drink copiously. But then a fellow author's initiation ceremony takes a gruesome turn, and one of the group ends up dead. Now, Agatha is no longer just the creator of great mystery plots - she's a player in one.

And when Agatha disappears the day after the murder, she's widely assumed to be guilty. Only Eliza Baker, assistant to the Club's enigmatic secretary, Dorothy Sayers, is interested in investigating the case. But in a world where murder is the ultimate plot device, can Eliza piece together the evidence and find the killer before it's too late?
