Martha Grimes 2 Book Bundle: The Dirty Duck + The Five Bells And Bladebone. The Five Bells And Bladebone The body belonged to the notorious philanderer Simon Lean. But Jury's best clue led to a London pub, the Five Bells and Bladebone. The Dirty Duck. The Dirty Duck: Nothing ever happens in Stratford." insisted Superintendent Richard Jury of Scotland Yard. Unfortunately, he was wrong. Besides the stage murders committed nightly at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. a real one had been performed not far from the Dirty Duck, a popular pub. The victim had been a member of an exclusive tour troupe. The murderer seemed to be a member of an exclusive group, too: those rare homicidal maniacs compelled to leave an intentional clue-in this case, a fragment of Elizabethan verse. Now a nine-year-old boy from the same tour had vanished and Superintendent Jury was worried. For. if the killer intended to finish the rhyme, would it spell death for Stratford with each new line? The Five Bells And Bladebone: Antiques dealer Marshall Trueblood had finally haggled the owner of Watermeadows-a lush country estate near the little village of Long Piddleton-into parting with a beautiful rosewood desk. He hadn't bargained on the corpse stuffed inside. The body belonged to the notorious philanderer Simon Lean. Richard Jury of Scotland Yard and his aristocratic sidekick, Melrose Plant, had no end of suspects. But Jury's best clue led to a London pub, the Five Bells and Bladebone. There he would learn about Lean's liaison with a shady lady named Sadie, who might help solve the case-if she wasn't murdered first.
