A Man Lay Dead is a detective novel by Ngaio Marsh; it is the first novel to feature Roderick Alleyn, and was first published in 1934. The plot concerns a murder committed during a detective game of murder at a weekend party in a country house.
There is a side-plot focused on Russians, ancient weapons, and secret societies. The murder concerns a small group of guests at Sir Hubert Handesley's estate. Unlike later novels, this novel focuses more on Nigel Bathgate and less on Alleyn.
