London’s top young lawyer has been murdered with a box of tears. Surely this is a case for Posie Parker?
London, 1924.
Posie Parker, Private Detective, has been called to her most baffling case yet. Amyas Lyle, London’s top young lawyer, has been found with his head in a box of poisoned saltwater. It’s the perfect murder. Who hated him enough to do such a thing?
But Amyas Lyle, youngest ever King’s Counsel and soon-to-be Judge, turns out to have been more complicated than Posie could ever have imagined.
Together with Inspector Lovelace of Scotland Yard, Posie investigates a web of intrigue around Amyas: a society wife gone off the rails; a dangerously powerful father-in-law; jealous friends and irate colleagues, not to mention unwise political dalliances and ill-concealed love affairs. And that’s all before Posie discovers a raft of long-buried scandals and secrets!
Following a trail of strange notes, all of which speak of the sea, and saltwater, Posie travels from London to the northern seaside resort of Whitley Bay, looking for answers. Can Posie find Amyas Lyle’s cold-blooded killer before further deaths take place, and can she protect those whom Amyas has left behind?
And as Britain celebrates an Olympic summer, will Posie manage to enjoy a holiday romance of her own? And just what is wrong with Inspector Lovelace? Why is he behaving so oddly? Is it anything to do with his new, smart appearance and some very carefully starched shirt collars?
An unputdownable golden age style murder mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey, Josephine Tey and Verity Bright.
