______________

Susan Ryeland has had enough of murder.

Shes edited two novels about the famous detective, Atticus Pnd, and both times shes come close to being killed. Now shes back in England and shes been persuaded to work on a third.

The new continuation novel is by Eliot Crace, grandson of Miriam Crace who was the biggest selling childrens author in the world until her death exactly twenty years ago.

Eliot believes that Miriam was deliberately poisoned. And when he tells Susan that he has hidden the identity of Miriams killer inside his book, Susan knows shes in trouble once again.

As Susan works on Pnds Last Case, a story set in an exotic villa in the South of France, she uncovers more and more parallels between the past and the present, the fictional and the real world until suddenly she finds that she has become a target herself.

It seems that someone in Eliots family doesnt want the book to be written. And they will do anything to prevent it.
