Death in Covert

Spine somewhat slanted and creased, corners bumped, tiny chip at bottom of spine, PO name inside. Text is starting to yellow, but clean and unmarked. "When Sir Peregrine Piers decided to open his stately home to the public, Regency Rakes Ltd was formed to promote it. Spectacular stunts were planned: a regency rout and hunting supper, and a midnight steeplechase. Nathaniel Goss, magazine publisher and amateur detective, took a lively interest in Regency Rakes, the more so as he had recently joined a shooting syndicate whose terrain bordered on Sir Peregrine's land. The syndicate is composed of some oddly-assorted characters, among them the odious Dyson and the gruff Blaze, and headed by the immaculate Archie Crumbe-Howard. Dyson meets a sticky end in a particularly nasty shooting accident - or was it design Domestic strife becomes rife, the keeper's unmarried daughter is alleged to be pregnant, and a suspicion piles upon suspicion. A startling climax is reached at the midnight steeplechase."; 6" - 7" Tall
