The Death Cap

The story is set around a group of actors and artists in bohemian post-war London, and the poisoning of one of them by deadly Death Cap mushrooms. Once again Professor Stubbs, the rollicking, rumbustious botanist-detective solves the crime in his own eccentric and brilliant manner, assisted by long-suffering assistant Max Boyle, while opposed and supported in equal measure by the argumentative Chief Inspector Bishop.
