Mystery Police Procedural | Mystery
Jury has yet to finish his first pint in the village of
Long Piddleton when he finds a corpse inside a beautiful
rosewood desk recently acquired by the local antiques
dealer, Marshall Trueblood. The body belongs to Simon
Lean, a notorious philanderer. And endless list of
suspects leads Jury and his aristocratic sidekick, Melrose
Plant, to the nearby country estate where Lean’s long-
suffering wife resides. But Jury’s best blue comes in
London at a pub called the Five Bells and Bladebone. There
he learns about Lean’s liaison with a disreputable woman
named Sadie, who could have helped solve the case…if she
wasn’t already dead.
