Three dead bodies. Two murders. One missing Bonfire Night effigy. With Bonfire Night looming, Aldermaston, the Eighth Marquess of Mortiforde, is feeling the heat. Not only has someone stolen Mortiforde Millie-the town's beloved fifteen-foot Bonfire Night effigy-just days before the town's annual firework celebrations, but developer Rupert Rinde wants to torch Mortiforde's heritage by building a waste incinerator on the historic Mortiforde Meadows. The locals are outraged, as is Rupert's father, Sir Hugo, who owns the meadows. So when Sir Hugo is found dead, skewered by a medieval dagger, his widow begs Aldermaston to investigate. Meanwhile, Sir Hugo had promised Aldermaston's wife and her Ladies' Legion the meadows for their new eco-friendly burial scheme. Now they're desperate to plant their first body in the ground before the deal goes up in smoke. So, when Aldermaston uncovers who stole Mortiforde Millie and why, he realises the waste incinerator project is designed to ignite some explosive repercussions. Can Aldermaston unmask a killer and save the Mortiforde Meadows before Bonfire Night erupts into chaos? Will the Ladies' Legion bury a body before their dreams go up in flames? And can Aldermaston rescue Mortiforde Millie's hidden secret before the fireworks begin?
