Now 100 years later, a man claiming to be his great grandson is killed the same way, and Markby must find the killer...

'The narrative keeps the reader gripped to the end - a fitting new member of the growing line-up of Mitchell and Markby classics' Wiltshire Times 'Interesting, persuasive characters... A good read' 'These books keep getting better and better' 'Characterisation, as ever with Granger, is sharp and astringent'
