When the exuberant president of Ng'ombwana proposes to dispense with the usual security arrangements on an official visit to London, his old schoolmate, Chief Superintendent Alleyn, is called in to persuade him otherwise. Consequently, on the night of the embassy's reception, the house and grounds are stiff with police.

One of Ngaio Marsh's later mysteries in the Roderick Alleyn series, Black as He's Painted features life in a London village setting; the Capricorns. Mr. Samuel Whipplestone, a recently retired Foreign Office diplomat, is feeling more than a bit out of curl one spring morning, when he happens upon a charming house for sale at 1 Capricorn Walk. Not normally an impulsive man, he finds himself taken by the house, and the neighborhood, and rapidly becomes a home owner. Right around the corner, however, sits the Ngombwanan Embassy, where things rapidly descend into violence and mysterious doings. Mr. Whipplestone's diplomatic expertise comes in handy when Roderick Alleyn's old schoolmate, the Boomer, now President of the newly independent African nation, comes a hair's breadth away from assassination. Who wants the Boomer dead? According to Mr. W., lots of people; quite a few, it appears, residing in the Capricorns. Also featuring Troy Alleyn, (and best of all, Lucy Lockett, one of the most delightful mystery-solving cats one could ever hope to meet.)
Excellent voicing and accents, never confused or confusing.
