Description:
Two full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisations of Ngaio Marsh short stories. In Opening Night, a leading actor is found gassed in his dressing room. It looks like suicide, until it transpires that he was widely detested. Inspector Alleyn quickly realises that almost everyone in the theatre had a motive for his murder. Jeremy Clyde stars as Inspector Alleyn. When in Rome finds Inspector Alleyn joining a group of highly suspicious tourists on a visit to a Roman catacomb. The corpse he finds in an ancient sarcophagus has been very recently murdered...

What the papers say:
'Excellent Roman detailed background... a lively thriller whodunnit.' OBSERVER 'One of her best books for a long time... keeps us guessing most craftily.' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Superintendent Alleyn is as devastating as ever.' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Blackmail and drug-dealing on the Tiber... Fastidious writing, telling character sketches, a fine appreciation of place.' SUNDAY TIMES 'I have no doubt at all that this is the best detective novel you have ever written. It has everything, and will go very far.' EDMUND CORK, Ngaio Marsh's literary agent
