Greene; essays by Marsh describing the “births” of Alleyn and his wife Troy; four unrelated short stories; a teleplay for a British television series called ‘Crown Court’; and what may be Dame Ngaio’s first published work: the story ‘The Figure Quoted’, which was not discovered until after the first edition of this book was issued.\n\nContents:\nRoderick Alleyn\n— Portrait of Troy\n— Death on the Air\n— I Can Find My Way Out\n— Chapter and Verse : The Little Copplestone Mystery\nOther Stories\n— The Hand in the Sand\n— The Cupid Mirror\n— A Fool About Money\n— Morepork\n— Evil Liver\n— The Figure Quoted\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1558820868\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1558820868.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Marsh, Ngaio\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
