'Glorious fun, packed with puzzles and twists. An absolute riotâ Tom Mead, author of The Murder Wheel
A gripping new mystery featuring Detective Tess Fox and her con-artist sister Sarah Jacobs.
Members of the Lewes Bonfire Society would say afterwards that the event would have been a huge success that year, if it hadnât been for the dead bodyâŠ
When the charred remains of MP Rupert Millington are found inside a burning effigy, no one knows how they got there, but there are plenty of rumours about whodunnit.
The lead suspect wants Detective Tess Fox and her con-artist sister Sarah Jacobs to help clear her name. She says she's being framed, but surely there is no smoke without fire.
The heat is on when a second victim is killed in a locked room while Tess and Sarah are in the building. Can the duo solve this puzzling mystery and find the real killer before they strike again?
