Since the conniving Argan considers even a trip across town an unnecessary expense for Bottando's squad, Flavia must rely on her fiancé, Jonathan Argyll. In England on business, he finds the suspect suspiciously dead. That's a pity-especially for Jonathan.

Now, Jonathan's passport has been lifted until Her Majesty's magistrate is satisfied that he has told all he knows... (retrieved from Amazon Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:55:55 -0400) |
