A lawyer's lucrative case has deadly consequences in the third installment of the Hilary Tamar mysteries that began with Thus Was Adonis Murdered

"Sarah Caudwell is one of my very favorite mystery writers."--A. J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

Young barrister Michael Cantrip has skipped off to the Channel Islands to take on a tax-law case that's worth a fortune--if Cantrip's tax-planning cronies can locate the missing heir. But Cantrip has waded in way over his head. Strange things are happening on these mysterious, isolated isles. Something is going bump in the night--and bumping off members of the legal team, one by one.

Soon Cantrip is messaging the gang at the home office for help. And it's up to amateur investigator Hilary Tamar, Oxford don turned supersleuth, to get Cantrip back to safety of his chambers--alive!
