The Floating Admiral

Inspector Rudge does not encounter many cases of murder in the sleepy seaside town of
Whynmouth... But when an old sailor lands a rowing boat containing a fresh corpse with a
stab wound to the chest, the Inspector's investigation immediately comes up against
several obstacles. The vicar, whose boat the body was found in, is clearly withholding
information, and the victim's niece has disappeared. There is clearly more to this case
than meets the eye...
