About this audiobook

Young barrsiter Michael Cantrip has skipped of to  the Channel Islands to take on a tax-law case  that's worth a fortune -- if Cantrip's tax-planning  cronies can locate the missing heir. But Cantrip  has waded in way over his head. Strange things are  happening on these mysterious, isolated isles.  Something is going bump in the night -- and bumping  off members of the legal team, one by one. Soon  Cantrip is telexing the gang at the home office for  help. And it's up to amateur investigator Hilaray  Tamar (Oxford don turned supersleuth) to get  Cantrip back to safety of his chambers -- alive!

About the author

Sarah Caudwell, the pipe-smoking author of Thus Was Adonis Murdered and three other novels featuring Oxford Don Hilary Tamar, died in 2000. “Hilary’s voice was in my head before any of the plots,” Caudwell told writer Martin Edwards in an interview for Mystery Scene. “I knew from the outset Hilary must be an Oxford don—but of equivocal sex and even equivocal age, resembling that precise, donnish kind of individual who starts being elderly at the age of twenty-two.”
