Book Synopsis Last Ditch by : Ngaio Marsh

Download or read book Last Ditch written by Ngaio Marsh and published by Inspector Roderick Alleyn. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roderick Alleyn's son Ricky Alleyn is now 21, and has taken himself off to a secluded island to write a novel. Or think about writing a novel. Or look for distractions so he can avoid writing a novel. The distractions abound, mostly in the form of colorful local characters, until Ricky stumbles across a murder and then gets himself kidnapped. Which is too bad for Ricky (and the murder-victim), but it brings Inspector Alleyn to the island. A subtheme involving drug-running may strike a jarring note, but Last Ditch was first published in 1977, and as such, it offers a remarkable look at what happens when the characters and conventions of the Golden Age fetch up in the distinctly tarnished present.
