Book description
Lucy Brenner has left her husband, her town, and her previous life
behind. She lives in Longborough, a town halfway between Kingston and
Toronto, where she runs a bed and breakfast and where, one day while
working in the library, a phone call sets into action events that
change her up-to-now quite predictable existence.
Lucy's cousin, David Trimble, has died and made her his sole
beneficiary. With some trepidation, she makes the impulsive decision
to carry on his business - a private detective agency, though these
might be grand words for the down-and-out ransacked office she finds
upon visiting Toronto to lay claim to her unexpected inheritance.
Previously published in hardcover only, this is the first paperback
release of the first Lucy Trimble mystery.
A masterly writer, Wright hasn't lost his touch...faithful readers
can take heart with Lucy Brenner on the scene.
Eric Wright is the
author of four detective series. The first Charlie Salter book won the
Arthur Ellis Award, the John Creasey Award, and the City of Toronto
Book Award. Wright has also written a comic novel and an engaging
memoir of growing up in working-class London, England.
