Book description
Twelve-year-old Tammy Franklin has learned too much about death, too
quickly. Two years ago she lost her mother to a long, lingering illness
and now the body of the woman her father married in an attempt to
replace his wife has been found on a railway embankment close to the
Franklin farm. This time the death is murder. As Superintendent Markby,
one of the first on the scene, well knows, Tammy now stands to have her
father taken from her, for Hugh Franklin is suspect number one in the
mind of the inspector to whom Markby has delegated the case. But,
despite his need to distance himself from the murder, Markby begins to
realise that the truth is destined to be far more complex than he ever
envisaged ... Ann Granger has lived in cities all over the world,
since for many years she worked for the Foreign Office and received
postings to British embassies as far apart as Munich and Lusaka. She is
married, with two sons, and she and her husband, who also worked for the
Foreign Office, are now permanently based in Oxfordshire.
