Murder at Hazelmoor was the first title of The Sittaford Mystery, published in 1931. Race Against Death. Inspector Narracott was the perfect model of a professional police inspector - calm, methodical, doing everything by the book. Beautiful Young EmilyTrefusis was his perfect opposite - impulsive, intuitive, irreverent toward all rules and regulations. Together, they entered into a competition to solve a baffling case of a man who had died at the very moment his murder was being forecast at a seance miles away. And it was not long before even the Inspector had to admit Emily was as effective a sleuth as he could ever hope to be, unless of course, she was a murderess, leading him on a merry chase.
