Travelling incognito on a secret mission to the Borders to clear the name of the Prince of Wales (in a scandal which could jeopardize his future as king), Inspector Faro unearths a plot of mayhem and murder. Descended from Border reivers, the Elrigg clan have long memories for treachery.
Mystery Large Print Edition After an evening of listening to a splendid rendering of Beethoven sonatas by young pianist Lachlan Brown, Inspector Faro is interrupted on his walk home by a terrified woman who runs from the shadows. But before Faro can react, he s hit over the head. The next time he sees the woman, she s a corpse in the police mortuary. When the body of a man who looks remarkably like the woman is discovered the next day, Faro becomes increasingly concerned. Could they be related? Why was the woman s house burned to the ground? And where does Lachlan Brown, who claims he too has been the victim of an attempted murder, fit into all of this? Solving this puzzle will take all of Faro s remarkable detection skills.
