Off With His Head

Description:

Someone's added a new flourish to South Mardian's annual sword dance. One of the dancers in the performance has been neatly decapitated. But was it murder...or magic? In a village so totally populated with eccentrics anything's believable, and everyone's a suspect. Scotland Yard's Inspector Alleyn has to perform some nimble steps of his own to crack this bizarre case. Also published as Off With His Head.
