Description

COMING SOON PRE-ORDER NOW

The follow-up to Three Card Murder and the second book in a gripping new mystery series introducing Detective Tess Fox and her con-artist sister Sarah Jacobs.
Members of the Lewes Bonfire Society would say afterwards that the event would have been a huge success that year, if it hadnt been for the dead body

When the charred remains of MP Rupert Millington are found inside a burning effigy, no one knows how they got there, but there are plenty of rumours about whodunnit.

The lead suspect wants Detective Tess Fox and her con-artist sister Sarah Jacobs to help clear her name. She says she's being framed, but surely there is no smoke without fire.

The heat is on when a second victim is killed in a locked room while Tess and Sarah are in the building. Can the duo solve this puzzling mystery and find the real killer before they strike again

'Glorious fun, packed with puzzles and twists. An absolute riot Tom Mead, author of The Murder Wheel
