Bestselling author Josephine Tey’s classic final mystery features her best-loved character, Inspector Alan Grant, whose holiday gets interrupted by a murder on the train—now with a new introduction by Robert Barnard.

On sick leave from Scotland Yard, Inspector Alan Grant is planning a quiet holiday with an old school chum to recover from overwork and mental fatigue. Traveling on the night train to Scotland, however, Grant stumbles upon a dead man and a cryptic poem about “the stones that walk” and “the singing sand,” which send him off on a fascinating search into the verse’s meaning and the identity of the deceased.

Grant needs just this sort of casual inquiry to quiet his jangling nerves, despite his doctor’s orders. But what begins as a leisurely pastime eventually turns into a full-blown investigation that leads Grant to discover not only the key to the poem but the truth about a most diabolical murder.

Josephine Tey (1896–1952) was the pen name of Scottish novelist and playwright Elizabeth MacKintosh. She began writing full time after the publication of The Man in the Queue (1929), which introduced Scotland Yard’s Inspector Alan Grant. Her acclaimed mysteries include The Franchise Affair, The Daughter of Time, and The Singing Sands. A Shilling for Candles was adapted by Alfred Hitchcock as the 1937 film Young and Innocent. Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.

Robert Barnard (1936–2013) was awarded the Agatha Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Nero Wolfe Award, and the Macavity Award. An eight-time Edgar nominee, he was a member of Britain’s distinguished Detection Club, and in May 2003, he received the Cartier Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement in mystery writing.
