The fun comes to an abrupt end, however, when Samuel Pepys is found dead in the telephone room in bizarre circumstances.Amidst the confusion of too many fake names, clues, ciphers and convoluted alibis, Macdonald and his allies in the CID must unravel a truly tangled case in this metafictional masterpiece, which returns to print for the first time since its publication in 1937.
