What this book is about
A golden-haired American photographer named Leslie Searle arrives in an English village and effortlessly enchants everyone he meets — until he disappears from the banks of a river and a body is never found. Inspector Alan Grant investigates a case that is less about who committed a crime than about who Leslie Searle really was. Elegant, witty, and psychologically acute, this fourth Grant mystery is regarded as one of Tey's most accomplished.
