Beloved New York Times bestseller M. C.
Beaton's cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin—the star of her
own hit T.V. series—is back on the case again
in Dead on Target.
A visit to the local
village fete for a spot of fun and relaxation turns into a
nightmare for Agatha Raisin when she discovers the body of
the local landowner in the woods—with an arrow in his chest
and trousers round his ankles.
Agatha’s old
adversary, Detective Chief Inspector Wilkes, declares the
death a tragic accident, believing the victim has been hit
by a stray arrow from an archery demonstration. Agatha is
convinced of foul play, however, and is shocked when Wilkes
eventually agrees...with her as his prime murder suspect.
Determined to clear her name and find the real
killer, Agatha launches her own investigation, quickly
becoming involved with a family at war, an unscrupulous
gangster—and a killer who is determined to make her the next
victim...
