At the Piccadilly Palace Hotel, Ambrose Chitterwick watches an elderly woman die: her coffee has traces of prussic acid and an empty bottle lies beside her. Scotland Yard accuses the nephew and heir, but friends and family defend his innocence. Chitterwick ventures into a forest of contradictory clues to determine whether it was suicide or murder.
It is the first installment in the Ambrose Chitterwick series. This novel was originally published as The Piccadilly Murder. The Portuguese translation is by Eduardo Saló.
It is a read for lovers of the classic crime novel and of the puzzles of the golden age of mystery.
