The man in black and other stories [large print] / Elly Griffiths.
"The Man in Black includes ghost stories, cozy mysteries, tales of psychological suspense, and poignant vignettes of love and loss. In the title story, Ruth Galloway crosses paths with a mysterious man in a bookstore, setting in motion a rescue mission that hinges on the legends of lore of Norfolk. In "Justice Jones and the Etherphone," a witty girl detective investigates the dire prediction of a fortune teller in dreary poswar London. To celebrate the holidays, Ruth gets her very first Christmas tree, and her beloved cat narrates his own seasonal story in "Flint's Fireside Tale." And readers can armchair travel with stories set on the Amalfi Coast, in Capri, and in Egypt as Ruth and DCI Nelson experience their very own version of Death on the Nile." -- Page [4] of cover.
