Death in Ecstasy

Another classic Ngaio Marsh novel reissued in B-format. The poison was cyanide, slipped into the sacred wine of ecstasy just before it was presented to Miss Cara Quayne at the House of the Sacred Flame. The victim was a deeply religious initiate who had trained for a month for her last ceremony.

She was also a very beautiful woman! The suspects were the other initiates and the High Priest.

All claimed they were above earthly passions. But Cara Quayne had provoked lust, jealousy -- and murder. Roderick Alleyn suspected that more evil still lurked behind the Sign of the Sacred Flame!
