A hound for the strange quirks of human behavior, when he takes time off from his profession as a landscape painter, Anthony Vereker is abetted ably in his search for intimate facts by his brilliant, adventurous friend, Manuel Ricardo, whose business is having a good time while others pay the bills, and making them like it. When this pair set out on a holiday cruise aboard the palatial liner "Mars" their attention is immediately focused upon a group of Anglo-South American wealth people. Manuel is interested because the women of the party and their chic French maid are beautiful and seductive, Vereker because of an odd discrepancy in the manner of wearing her jewels which he observes in one of the women on two different occasions. When the woman's dead body is found on the deck outside of Vereker's cabin, and a priceless necklace is thrown into his own bunk, suspicions begin to crystallize and a thrilling chase is on. Speedy, witty, plausible and human, "The Pleasure Cruise Mystery" makes first class reading for the discriminating mystery fan.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover.
