Overview
An erudite Scotland Yard detective investigates after a professor meets a hellish end with a heavenly body in this classic British mystery.
When Professor Pluckrose is found dead in his deckchair on the campus of a provincial English university, it looks as though the eminent biochemist was struck by a falling meteorite. But this was no act of Godāthe stone was dropped from a nearby tower.
With the local authorities baffled, Scotland Yardās Insp. John Appleby is asked to consult on the case. Combing the hallowed halls for information, Appleby finds plenty of pompous academics with their own theories about the murderāas well as their own motives. Appleby must study the clues thoroughly if he hopes to determine who among them has a mind for murder.
