Abstract AR
ولدت السيدة نكايو أديث مارش (1899 - 1982) و هي كاتبة روايات بوليسية من مدينة كرايستتشرتش في نيوزيلندة و اشتهرت ببطلها المفتش الأقدم روديك ألين الذي يظهر في روايتها رجل يرقد ميتا و في روايات بضمنها الموت و الخادم الراقص الذي تهزه أغنية مرحة منبعثة من مذياع في غرفة التدخين حيث يرقد ويليام ميتا بعد أن قتله أخوه نيوكلاس, و هو الذي يقدم الدليل الضروري لتبرئة الرجل الأكثر شكا فيه بإثبات أنه لم يكن في مسرح الجريمة.
و كان نيكولاس قد خطط لجريمة تكاد تكون كاملة لولا رقصة هذا الخادم التي أفشلتها, و عندما يقدم ألين و رجال شرطته عرضا تعاد فيه كيفية ارتكاب الجريمة, ينهار نيكولاس و يحاول الهرب ضاربا بيلي (و هو خبير البصمات الذي يعمل مع ألين) غير أنهم يتغلبون عليه و يقتادون معهم برفقة جثتي كل من أمه التي تنتحر لأجله و أخيه الذي اغتاله.
Abstract EN
Dame Ngaio Edith Marsh (1899-1982), a writer of detective fiction, was born at Christchurch, New Zealand.
Her hero, Chief Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn, appears in her first novel, A Man Lay Dead (1934), and in subsequent novels including Death and the Dancing Footman (1942).
She wrote twenty detective novels.
The Dancing Footman, Thomas, listening to a playful song from the smokingroom's radio where William lay dead after being killed by his brother, Nicholas, provides the most suspected guest at Highfold with badly needed alibi.
The murderer, Nicholas, plans an almost perfect crime, but the dance of this footman spoils his scheme.
When Alleyn and his group of policemen stage a show in which there is a reconstruction of the murder, Nicholas collapses, and tries to escape, hits Bailey, Alleyn's finger-print specialist, but they overpower him and take him away with the two corpses of his mother and brother.
