Beset on all sides, time is running out: to solve the case, and to
save his future...Harry Probert-Lloyd has inherited the estate of
Glanteifi and appointed his assistant John as under-steward. But
his true vocation, to be coroner, is under threat. Against his
natural instincts, Harry must campaign if he is to be voted as
coroner permanently. On the hustings, Harry and John are called to
examine the body of Nicholas Rowland, a pioneering schoolteacher
whose death may not be the accident it first appeared. What was
Rowland's real relationship with his eccentric patron, Miss
Gwatkyn? And why does Harry's rival for the post of coroner deny
knowing him? Harry's determination to uncover the truth threatens
to undermine both his campaign and his career. An unputdownable
Victorian historical crime thriller, perfect for fans of D. V.
Bishop, Andrew Taylor and Ambrose Parry. Praise for Alis
