A murder mystery featuring Lord Edward Corinth and Verity Browne.
August 1935. The Duke of Mersham''s exclusive party ends in tragedy as General Sir Alistair Craig VC collapses, victim of a poisoned glass of port, just as Lord Edward Corinth and Verity Browne join the soirée.
The unlikely pair - the younger son of a duke and a journalist committed to the Communist Party - find common ground as they seek the truth and discover that everyone present that evening, including the Duke of Mersham himself, had motive for wanting Sir Alistair out of the picture.
But more deaths will follow before Lord Edward and Verity can get to the bottom of this intriguing mystery...
