Description

A priests death leads to sinister goings-on in an old country pub
To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn, Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning

Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gormans head Or was it when the priests assailant searched him so roughly he tore the clergymans cassock Or could it have been the priests visit, just minutes before, to a woman on her death bed

Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble which Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier

Wherever the beginning lies, Mark and his sidekick, Ginger Corrigan, may soon have cause to wish theyd never found it

She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
