Death of a Unicorn (Paperback)

"Peter Dickinson is my own chosen demigod in the pantheon of crime fiction."
--Laurie R. King
For best-selling author Lady Margaret, the past is no longer a pleasant memory. Her first lover's mysterious death and the seeming inevitability of her inheriting the family's stately home are cast in new light by secrets unwillingly revisited. The first in a series of reprints of Peter Dickinson's mysteries, this classic British mystery will win fans currently engrossed in "Downton Abbey."
