No Man's Street: Beverley Nichols

Famed music critic Sir Edward Carstairs is dead, killed with a knife to his back. And the diva Sonia Rubinstein wants to - no, insists on - hiring the retired, and retiring, Humphrey Green to investigate. No one seems very sorry that Sir Edward is dead. His own sister calls him a sadist. But there's something about the way he died that excites interest in a variety of people, including a world-famous conductor, a talented young cellist, and his nephew and heir.
