In at the Death (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492673408)

When murder is afoot, nothing is as it seems

Mordecai Tremaine and Chief Inspector Jonathan Boyce rarely allow a promising game of chess to be interrupted -- though when murder is the disrupting force, they are persuaded to make an exception. After a quick stop at Scotland Yard to collect any detective's most trusted piece of equipment -- the murder bag -- the pair are spirited away to Bridgton.

No sooner have they arrived than it becomes clear that the city harbors more than its fair share of passions and motives...and one question echoes loudly throughout the cobbled streets: why did Dr. Hardene, the local GP of impeccable reputation, bring a revolver with him on a routine visit to a patient?

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Margery Allingham's classic mysteries, Mordecai Tremaine's latest excursion into crime detection convinces him that, when it comes to murder, nothing can be assumed...
