Book description
Hoping to attract a generous endowment, St Agatha's College, Cambridge,
invites fabulously wealthy Sir Julius Farran to dine. The evening is a
disaster for everyone but Imogen Quy: Farran invites her to come and
work for him. She declines, but when Farran dies, suddenly and
shockingly, she has to look into it. His death left a large hole in his
company accounts that could mean financial ruin for St Agatha's. To save
her college, Imogen starts to cast her cool eye over the financier's
heirs, employees and enemies. What is right about the death of Sir
Julius? What is wrong about it? And why did it happen? After all, her
name rhymes with ''why''. 'Paton Walsh plots deftly and writes
intelligently . . . Sayers' many fans will be delighted.' Jill Paton
Walsh, born in 1937, is also the author of many non-crime novels for
adults: the fourth of these, Knowledge of Angels, was shortlisted for
the Booker Prize. Before writing for adults she made a career as a
writer of children's books and has won many literary prizes. www.
