About this ebook
'A delightful mix of classic crime fiction and Robert Galbraith' - IAN MOORE
'Witty, compelling and an intriguing fiendish murder' - J.M. HALL
'Brilliantly entertaining and fiendishly fun' - PHILIPPA EAST
A dead art historian. Cold War skulduggery.
A reluctant Danish sleuth. And an extremely hungry dog.
Eminent art historian Dame Charlotte Lazerton is dead. Her body was found at the foot of her stairs, guarded by her Irish wolfhound. The police believe that she died of natural causes, but Torben Helle - Danish academic and amateur sleuth - is convinced that his beloved mentor was murdered. After all, Charlotte had a knack for making enemies.
Aided by his old friend Leyla, Torben's investigation uncovers plenty of people who might have wanted Charlotte dead, from old adversaries from her time with MI6 to her rivals for a prestigious academic presidency. But Torben is woefully unqualified to catch a killer, and the killer knows it...
This witty murder mystery puts a modern spin on the classic Golden Age whodunnit. A must-read for fans of Tom Hindle, Richard Osman and Janice Hallett.
