Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Fiction, Fox Evil is the
bestselling thriller from crime queen Minette Walters. When elderly
Ailsa Lockyer-Fox is found dead in her garden, dressed only in
night clothes and with blood stains on the ground near her body,
the finger of suspicion points at her wealthy, landowning husband,
Colonel James Lockyer-Fox. A coroner's inquest gives a verdict of
'natural causes' but the gossip surrounding him refuses to go away.
Why? Because he's guilty? Or because resentful women in the
isolated Dorset village where he lives rule the roost? Shenstead is
a place of too few people and too many secrets. Why have James and
Ailsa cut their children out of their wills? What happened in the
past to create such animosity within the family? And why is James
so desperate to find his illegitimate grandchild? Friendless and
alone, his reclusive behaviour begins to alarm his London-based
solicitor, Mark Ankerton, whose concern deepens when he discovers
that James has become the victim of a relentless campaign which
accuses him of far worse than the death of his wife. Allegations
which he refuses to challenge . . . Why? Because they're a motive
for murder? . . .
