The venerable Roman church of San Tommaso in Pallaria became the site of a most curious assemblage, gathered together under the aegis of one Sebastian Mailer and his Il Cicerone Conducted Tours for an expedition that he promised would be "most unconventional." Inspector Alleyn of Scotland Yard investigates the murder, blackmail, and drug-running.
"When their guide disappears mysteriously in the depths of a Roman basilica, the members of Mr Sebastian Mailer's tour group seem strangely unperturbed. But when a body is discovered in an Etruscan sarcophagus, Superintendent Alleyn, in Rome incognito on the trail of an international drug racket, is very much concerned - container."

"On a late Saturday in April, the venerable Roman church of San Tommaso in Pallaria became the site of a most curious assemblage. A superannuated jet-setter and her junkie nephew, a bad-tempered, ultra-British Major, a boisterous Baron and Baroness bearing an astonishing resemblance to one another, and an extremely reticent best-selling author were being gathered together under the aegis of one Sebastian Mailer and his Il Cicerone Conducted Tours for an expedition that he promised would be "most unconventional." Which indeed it would be. All sorts of new activities, plus some surprises. Like murder, blackmail, and drug-running. Superintendent Roderick Alleyn, brought to Italy by an international probe of drug smuggling, finds himself in the middle of the most baffling case of his career, an intricate web of "Anybody's Guess" in which each and every one of his suspects could be a killer-or a victim. Or both."@en
"Two full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisations of Ngaio Marsh short stories. In "Opening night", a leading actor is found gassed in his dressing room. It looks like suicide, until it transpires that he was widely detested. Inspector Alleyn quickly realises that almost everyone in the theatre had a motive for his murder. Jeremy Clyde stars as Inspector Alleyn. "When in Rome" finds Inspector Alleyn joining a group of highly suspicious tourists on a visit to a Roman catacomb. The corpse he finds in an ancient sarcophagus has been very recently murdered."@en
