A Heart-Pounding Thriller! When Milo Tindle visits detective writer Andrew Wyke at his English countryside home, the last thing he expects is for Andrew to propose they stage an elaborate jewelry burglary. Andrew’s endgame is a sizeable insurance payout for himself; Milo can use the jewels to financially support Andrew’s wife, Marguerite, with whom he’s been having an affair. The plan goes swimmingly at first, but as new revelations come to light, both men soon realize they’ve met their match. What follows is a heart-pounding, high-stakes game of cat and mouse where each man’s web of lies, bargains and misdirections leads to the ultimate checkmate. Let the game begin.
Sleuth premiered on Broadway in 1970 and received the 1971 Tony Award for Best Play. The New York Times called it "an entrancing tale of detective-story mayhem with a touch of urbane intellectualism."
