Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J Miller

the threat of suicide attacks and even all-out war, Cato and Macro
have their peace-keeping work cut out...

strikes! Chairwoman of the village show, Alice Warren, slumps to
the ground - poisoned! As fingers of suspicion again point Martha's
way, she's determined to prove her innocence and find the real
