When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway s latest novel she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the bestselling crime writer for years she s intimately familiar with his detective Atticus Pünd who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers Alan s traditional formula has proved hugely successful.

Conway s latest tale has Atticus Pünd investigating a murder at Pye Hall a local manor house.
