Death of a Tin God by George Bellairs

Death of a Tin God (An Inspector Littlejohn Mystery, #18)

by George Bellairs

The glamour of Hollywood has descended upon the Isle of Man: smiling stars, flashing photographers, adoring fans... But behind this glossy facade, something sinister stirs. Superintendent Littlejohn thought he was in a for few days' holiday, but when a charismatic leading man is found dead in his hotel room, Littlejohn is called back to investigate. Was it suicide, murder, or a tragic accident?

Rumours run wild and this star-studded case stretches far beyond the shores of the Isle of Man: from London, to Dublin, all the way to the French Riviera.

Death of a Tin God is the eighteenth title in Agora's Inspector Littlejohn Mysteries.

Only for Littlejohn completists and even then this is a long way down the list.
