The Singing Sands

The Singing Sands is by Josephine Tey. The sixth book in the realistic fiction Inspector Grant Mystery series.

As he is about to disembark the train, a dead man is discovered and Grant, while assisting the conductor, accidentally picks up a newspaper that was laying near the body. When he discovers the cryptic poem written in the margins of the newspaper something doesn't strike him as quite right about the young man's death. When a friend of the deceased comes looking for him, Grant teams up with him to discover the truth about the death of Charles Martin, or is he really Bill Kenrick? Fans of the series will enjoy this final installment.
