Book description
The second classic whodunnit starring Dandy Gilver. Summer
1923, and as the village of Queensferry prepares for the annual Ferry
Fair and the walk of the Burry Man, feelings are running high. With
his pagan greenery, his lucky pennies and the nips of whisky he is
treated to wherever he goes, the Burry Man has much to offend stricter
souls like the minister or temperance pamphleteer. And then at the
Fair, in full view of everyone -- including Dandy Gilver, invited to
hand out the prizes -- he falls down dead. If he has been poisoned
then the list of suspects includes anyone with a bottle of whisky in
the house, and, here at Queensferry, that means just about everyone.
