Book description
THE WOMAN UNKNOWN: Deirdre Fitzpatrick is married to a man who wants to
know where she
really
goes when supposedly taking care of her sick mother and calls on the
expertise of Kate Shackleton, amateur sleuth extraordinaire to
investigate.
THE GENTLEMAN: Everett Runcie is a banker facing ruin and disgrace. His
American heiress wife will no longer pay for his mistakes, or tolerate
his infidelity, and is seeking a divorce.
THE MURDER: When a chambermaid enters Runcie's hotel room, she is
shocked to find that he is alone, and dead. Suddenly Kate is thrown into
the depths of an altogether more sinister investigation. Can she uncover
the truth of her most complex, and personal, case to date? Frances
Brody is the author of three mysteries featuring Kate Shackleton as well
as many stories and plays for BBC Radio, scripts for television and four
sagas, one of which won the HarperCollins Elizabeth Elgin Award. Her
stage plays have been toured by several theatre companies and produced
at Manchester Library Theatre, the Gate and Nottingham Playhouse, and Jehad
was nominated for a Time Out
Award.
