The Cluny Problem: a Chief Inspector Pointer Mystery A. E. Fielding

Cluny is an ancient town in France better known for its past then its present, in other words, the perfect place for tourists and travelers. When a local wine grower who provides accommodations for the better sort of English tourist in his villa decides to entertain his guests with a masked ball it promises to be a pleasant diversion. But the diversion turns to tragedy when two of the attendees are found dead in a locked room, apparently as a result of a duel. But, was it really a duel fought over the wife of one of the dead men, or can their deaths be attributed to something more sinister, murder? Fortunately, Chief Inspector Pointer is attending a conference in the neighborhood and is prepared to assist the local police, but only, of course, in the role of an observer. But can even the ever astute Pointer solve . . . The Cluny Problem?
