and an intriguing fiendish murder' - J.M. HALL 'Brilliantly entertaining and fiendishly fun' -
PHILIPPA EAST A dead art historian. Cold War skulduggery. A reluctant Danish sleuth. And an
extremely hungry dog. Eminent art historian Dame Charlotte Lazerton is dead. Her body was
found at the foot of her stairs guarded by her Irish wolfhound. The police believe that she
died of natural causes but Torben Helle - Danish academic and amateur sleuth - is convinced
that his beloved mentor was murdered. After all Charlotte had a knack for making enemies.
Aided by his old friend Leyla Torben's investigation uncovers plenty of people who might have
wanted Charlotte dead from old adversaries from her time with MI6 to her rivals for a
prestigious academic presidency. But Torben is woefully unqualified to catch a killer and the
killer knows it... This witty murder mystery puts a modern spin on the classic Golden Age
whodunnit. A must-read for fans of Tom Hindle Richard Osman and Janice Hallett.
