About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Man in the Queue by Josephine Tey. Read in English by Phil Benson. Introducing Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard! In this early example of the police procedural from the 'golden age' of British crime writing, Grant and his colleagues are faced with an unusual case of murder. The victim has been stabbed in the back in a theatre queue with nothing to identify him other than his clothes and a revolver in his pocket. The murderer is in the queue, but who is it? (Summary by Phil Benson)
