It is August 1935 and the Duke of Mersham is hosting one of his influential parties, bringing together public figures interested in improving Anglo-German relations. One of his guests is General Sir Alistair Craig VC, who swallows poison in the duke's excellent port and dies just as latecomer Lord Edward Corinth and journalist Verity Browne arrive on the scene.

The unlikely pair - the younger son of a duke and a journalist committed to the Communist Party find common ground as they seek for the truth behind the general's murder and discover that everyone present, including the duke himself, had a motive for wanting Sir Alistair out of the way.

But more deaths will follow before Verity and Lord Edward get to the bottom of this singular mystery...

First published in hardback in 2000, this classic detective story introducing Lord Edward Corinth and Verity Browne was much acclaimed.

'A classic murder mystery' Charles Osborne, author of The Life and Crimes of Agatha Christie

'Readers waiting for another Christie redux will find great pleasure in this thoroughly enjoyable first novel' Booklist
