When a beautiful countess is found strangled in her cabin aboard the luxury liner Latakia, scientist, explorer, and former intelligence officer Walter Ghost tries to find the killer.

Praise for Murder on \\”B\\” Deck-

‘Starrett makes the most of the setting and populates it with an array of potential suspects. This definitely merits being labelled an American Mystery classic’ – Publishers Weekly

‘Starrett was a Holmes expert, and this first of three Walter Ghost novels, published in 1929, delivers a thoroughly entertaining spin on the theme of a big-brained amateur sleuth and his admiring sidekick’ – Booklist
