Arson and murder in the English countryside from the
author of Mrs. Malory and a Necessary End . . .
In the wake of a reporter’s death, biographer Sheila
Malory must dig through the remnants of his life to discover
the devil in the details . . .
Sheila’s friend, larger-than-life Eva Jackson, has returned
to the village of Taviscombe after losing her husband, Alan.
A foreign correspondent, Alan reported on dangerous stories
around the world from Libya to Afghanistan—but the cause of
his death was more mundane: kidney failure in a London
hospital. Still, he led a storied life, and much of his past
lies in his writings, papers, and books now boxed away in
Eva’s garage.
After Eva decides to compile a book of Alan’s unpublished
works, a fire mysteriously breaks out in the garage. Then
Eva meets a suspicious end, leading Sheila to wonder if
there’s a killer at large in their charming Devon
countryside . .
