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.

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.

'Starrett makes the most of the setting and populates it with an array of potential suspects. This definitely merits being labeled 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
