First published in 1929, The Man in the Queue is the brilliant debut that introduced the world to Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard. In a crowded queue outside a London theater, a man collapses just as the doors open. The crowd assumes he's fainted, but the grim reality soon surfaces: he has been stabbed through the back with a silver-handled stiletto. Despite the hundreds of witnesses, no one saw a thing, and the victim possesses nothing—not even a label in his suit—to identify him. Enter Inspector Grant, a detective defined by his intuition and tireless logic. What begins as a search for a name quickly spirals into a high-stakes manhunt that stretches from the foggy streets of London to the rugged highlands of Scotland.
