  • "High in mountains stands the magnificent Saracen fortress, home of the mysterious Mr. Oberon, leader of a coven of witches. It is not the historic castle, however, that intrigues Roderick Alleyn, on holiday with his family, but the suspicion that a huge drug ring operates from within its ancient portals. But before the holiday is over, someone else has stumbled upon the secret. And Mr. Oberon decides that his strange and terrible rituals require a human sacrifice."
  • ""Una figura velata da una tunica bianca che leva un coltello contro una donna inerme. È la visione spettrale che, oltre la finestra di un castello rischiarato dalla luna, scorge dal treno uno scioccato Roderick Alleyn. L'ispettore capo di Scotland Yard è ufficialmente in vacanza con moglie e figlio nel Sud della Francia, ma in realtà si trova sul posto per indagare su un giro di trafficanti, che potrebbe avere la sua base proprio nella fortezza teatro della sconvolgente scena. Là risiede l'enigmatico Oberon, leader di una confraternita dedita a pratiche esoteriche. Solo innocue messinscene o riti macabri di un culto che uccide? Toccherà ad Alleyn, muovendosi in incognito, scoprire se dietro le antiche mura si celi qualcosa che trascende la ragione o se invece operi un ben più prosaico racket della droga. E dovrà agire in fretta. Prima che qualcuno scelga la sua prossima vittima molto vicino a lui."--"
  • ""Inspector Alleyn has decamped for the South of France for a vacation en famille. Well, the famille will be vay-caying while Alleyn does a little official poking around. Unfortunately, the object of his poking--the cultish denizens of a sinister and luxurious chateau--are not over-fond of being poked, and they have a particularly unpleasant way of getting their point across."--back cover."
  • "Ngaio Marsh's Inspector Alleyn has decamped for the South of France, where he does some poking around at the cultish denizens of a sinister and luxurious chateau, who are not fond of being poked. More thiller than straight-ahead whodunit, Spinsters in Jeopardy is a fresh take for Marsh, while retaining the cleverness and warm, vivid characterizations her fans demand."
