“A perfect example of golden-age mystery traditions with the cobwebs swept away.”—Guardian (UK)


February, 1939. Edward and Verity are invited to Clivenden in Buckinghamshire, renowned as the headquarters of those prepared to go to any lengths to avert war. Murder stalks the formal gardens as private and public passions come to a climax.
