A fearless sleuth.And a sinister death. When a genteel lady guest is found dead at The Rusty Nail, the historic pub obituary writer and part-time PI Veronica Vale owns, it seems like a tragic accident. The woman claimed to be on holiday, escaping society's pressures. She lied. She was a high-society madam with a client list that could topple governments. Politicians, aristocrats, men who paid handsomely for discretion and would kill to keep their secrets buried and their reputations unsullied. Days later, one of her girls also turns up murdered, and Veronica realises she's not hunting an ordinary killer but someone with the power to make inconvenient people disappear. Whispers of blackmail and corruption follow her every question, and powerful forces want her silenced permanently. With her best friend Ruby ill and harbouring a reputation-ruining secret of her own, Veronica is supported only by her partner Jacob and her loyal dog Benji, as she unravels a conspiracy stretching from back-alley brothels to London's Parliament corridors. *** Perfect for Maisie Dobbs and Agatha Christie fans, Death at the Rusty Nail, book 9 in the Veronica Vale Investigates series, delivers period atmosphere and pulse-pounding suspense in this gripping British historical mystery series.
