Overview

A house full of suspects. Two dogged detectives. One impossible murder. When the owner of the Treefall Estate, Alexander Grimbourne, is murdered on the morning of his daughter's wedding, the local police are stumped by the case. After all, Alexander's body is found inside his study, the door and windows of which are locked from the inside - yet someone has stabbed the tyrannical man with a dagger through the heart and seemingly vanished into thin air. An impossible murder case requires a uniquely talented detective, and there is no one better than Inspector Graves of Scotland Yard, who together with his new constable, James Carver, travel to Treefall Manor where they find a host of suspects. From the dead man's resentful son to his fearful secretary, the local pub landlord to the gossiping housekeeper, the neighbouring landowner to the flighty socialite - even the village vicar is not above suspicion. But in order to unmask the killer, Inspector Graves must first find the answer to some baffling questions: Who is the mysterious figure seen lurking on the Treefall Estate? How did the killer escape from a locked room? And why is Alexander found clutching The Canterbury Tales in his dead hand? Praise for The Mystery of Treefall Manor: ""Outstanding... An exceptional debut, well worth being part of any mystery reader's collection."" - Steve Barge, In Search of the Classic Mystery Novel Praise for The Riddle of the Ravens: ""A deftly constructed puzzle box of a mystery, with one of the most satisfying impossible crime plots I've seen in a long while. Very highly recommended."" - Tom Mead, author of Death and the Conjuror ""An incredibly clever murder mystery. Highly inventive and the central trick is beautifully staged. Magnificent!""
