Lady Alkmene Callender is back, but this time the crime is a little closer to home...
After the vicious murder of her relation, Lord Winters at his country estate, Lady Alkmene is intrigued to hear that the burglar found standing over his body might not be the murderer after all... Reporter Jake Dubois believes an innocent man has been imprisoned and turns to Lady Alkmene to go undercover in the Winters household and find the real killer among Winters’ own family.

Even the family connection might not be enough to save Lady Alkmene from becoming the next victim...

VIVIAN CONROY discovered Agatha Christie at thirteen and devoured all the Poirot and Miss Marple stories. Even more fun than reading was thinking up her own fog-filled alleys, missing heirs and priceless artefacts. So Vivian created feisty Lady Alkmene and reporter Jake Dubois sleuthing in 1920s’ London and the countryside, first appearing in A Proposal to Die For.
