What the self-proclaimed “Deputy-Adventurer” finds is foul play of the most heinous kind: murder.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Andrew is found floating in a river, bound and shot in the head. Needless to say, in a household of unlikable characters--presided over by an authoritarian widow--he’s not sorely missed. But fear has pervaded the dour family, bringing up decades of suppressed hatreds, petty jealousies, and nasty impulses--all of which lead to a second shocking killing. As the number of Faradays dwindle, so should the number of suspects. But Campion discovers that in a family this dysfunctional, it’s hard to stop what hatred has set in motion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Margery Allingham\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light.” - Agatha Christie\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “The best of mystery writers.” - \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Allingham was a rare and precious talent.” - \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Margery Allingham deserves to be rediscovered.” - P.
