Mystery
Scotland Yard Detective Sergeant Jack Gibbons and friend
Phillip Bethancourt team up to solve the murder of a
wealthy bachelor in this smart follow-up to Chan's
sparkling debut, The Young
Widow. Ambitious Scotland Yard Detective Sergeant Jack Gibbons
calls on his friend, the wealthy man-about-town Phillip
Bethan¬court, for help with his latest case, the death of
a middle-aged widower in a small town in the English
Cotswolds.What first appears to be an accident soon grows
more interesting when tracing Charlie Bingham's movements
on the evening of his death proves more difficult than
expected. It seems Charlie was going to visit his
girlfriend—but no one knows who she is. And when it turns
out that Charlie was a very wealthy business¬man, other
suspects begin to pop up: his estranged daughter, who was
in London on the evening in question, and an un¬happy
business partner who has no alibi. Cassandra Chan shows her mastery of the traditional
Eng¬lish mystery in this second novel to feature the
investigative duo of Jack Gibbons and Phillip Bethancourt,
a modern-day Peter Wimsey.
