The perfect beach read, this classic Golden Age murder mystery is set on a 1920s transatlantic ocean liner ship.

Originally published in 1929, a Golden Age classic murder mystery set on a cruise ship - the perfect holiday read!

Everyone is a suspect.

When a beautiful countess is found strangled in her cabin aboard the luxury liner Latakia, scientist, explorer, and former intelligence officer Walter Ghost tries to find the killer. He has a taste for puzzles and a habit of getting into trouble, but now he's trapped in a game he doesn't know if he can win.

Anyone could be next.

Confined to the close quarters of 'B' deck, with a group of paranoid passengers, Walter must solve this one quickly - and find the killer before someone else gets scratched off the passenger list.

Praise for Murder on "B" Deck-

'Starrett makes the most of the setting and populates it with an array of potential suspects. This definitely merits being labelled an American Mystery classic' - Publishers Weekly

'Starrett was a Holmes expert, and this first of three Walter Ghost novels, published in 1929, delivers a thoroughly entertaining spin on the theme of a big-brained amateur sleuth and his admiring sidekick' - Booklist
