The Crimson Scarf: A Tale of Intrigue and Murder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243459525)

A mystery set in a Mayfair townhouse on the last Christmas before the war. For readers of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Charles Todd.

December 1938. Reginald Hargrove, Managing Director of the Burma Exploration Company, invites his directors and partners to a Christmas supper. One of them will not leave alive.

Julian Blackwood, Chief Engineer, has spent twenty years turning other people's secrets into his own currency. Tonight he paid the price, strangled with his own crimson scarf. Snow has sealed the house. Which means his killer is still among them, and before the night is out, they strike again.

Hargrove has solved cases that defeated Scotland Yard. He has never had a case this close to home. And he has never had to ask whether his own decisions played a part. One of his guests has spent years warning the board about cutting corners. Julian Blackwood made sure nobody acted. Tonight, somebody did. Who has a secret worth killing for?
