Book description
It is 1925 and the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple, her husband Alec
Fletcher and their recent twins move to a new, large house on the
outskirts of London. Set in a small circle of houses with a communal
garden, it seems like the idyllic setting -- that is, until a murder
victim turns up under the bushes of the communal garden. Now rumours
of bootleggers, American gangsters and an international liquor
smuggling operation via black ships turn everything upside down. Alec,
in his role as Scotland Yard detective, has been assigned to ferret
out the truth behind the murder -- but it is up to Daisy to find out
who the dead man is, what his relationship with her new neighbours
was, why he was murdered -- and who it was who did him in!
