George's fortuitous inheritance of an unprofitable estate in the Midlands offers a chance to keep all of his suspects within view for observation-but a strange death derails his investigation. The local constabulary considers him as much a subject of interest as any of the others, so he must rapidly find the actual killer to prevent another tragedy and keep himself in the clear. This slow-burn narrative leads to an exciting conclusion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancis Everton was the pseudonym for Francis William Stokes (1883-1956), an engineer who spent many years in management for various engineering firms.
