Black Girl, White Girl
The husband-and-wife sleuths leave London and take on crime in the Caribbean: “One of the deftest practitioners of the British procedural detective novel.” —The New York Times Book Review

Detective Chief Superintendent Henry Tibbett and his wife, Emmy, have escaped the London winter to bask in the Caribbean sunshine. They have an ulterior motive for the trip, though—to try to help their elderly friend who says she’s being targeted by a cocaine ring. While keeping up the pretense of being clueless, wealthy tourists, the couple pokes around amid the palm trees—and goes to dangerous lengths to find the truth, which will involve Henry himself posing as a drug runner . . .

“A new queen of crime . . . her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh.” —Daily Herald

“Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes’ writing.” —Mystery Scene

About the Author

Patricia Moyes (1923–2000) was a British author best known for her “Henry Tibbett” series: traditional mysteries led by an unflappable Scotland Yard detective and his equally insightful wife, Emmy. During WWII Moyes joined the Royal Air Force and became a radar operator and flight officer. She later worked for actor and director Peter Ustinov, with whom she collaborated on a film script, and then at British Vogue. In the late 1950s she began turning out mysteries and continued to do so—with occasional breaks to write about her beloved cats—for the next 40 years. In 1999 she received an Agatha Award for Lifetime Achievement.
