A Dido Hoare Mystery: Road Kill

Everyone's heart lurches when the telephone rings in the middle of the night. To Dido's relief, it's not to do with her father - the call is from her nanny, who has been locked in a closet with the phone by an odd trio of burglars who seem to be looking for something they cannot find.

Phyllis spends her days looking after Dido's baby, and then goes back to her happy marriage to a harmless semi-retired invalid. Or is he? Frank is an accountant, and Phyllis knows he spent several years in prison for a white-collar crime. But when Frank is found murdered, it becomes very clear that his past was much less white-collar than anyone realised.

And it's his past which is going to put Dido and her family in danger.
