Death and the Old Master

Cambridge University master Sir Flyte Rascallian has little interest in the innocent-looking set of old paintings he inherits from his aunt Beatrice until he takes a closer look… and ends up dead. Something is clearly bothering Sir Flyte Rascallian, Master of Hardwick College at the University of Cambridge and renowned art expert. Are all the grimy paintings he's recently inherited from his aunt's old attic really as worthless as he claims? Curator Ambrose Nussknacker believes that one of the paintings could be a genuine Rembrandt. Why is Sir Flyte so reluctant to get it authenticated and determined to shun the accolade of discovering one of the world's great lost treasures? When Sir Flyte is found murdered in his study on campus, Detective Chief Inspection Arthur St. Just must unravel his sudden unusual behavior to get to the bottom of the death of the old master, but in doing so, St. Just becomes entangled in a web of priceless artwork, deadly intentions, and dangerous secrets. Fans of M.C. Beaton and Dorothy L. Sayers will love this entertaining mystery featuring delightfully eccentric characters.
