Description
Ailsa Lockyer-Fox's death in her garden has sent shockwaves through the isolated village of Shenstead. The elderly woman was found dressed only in night clothes, with blood stains near her body, and the finger of suspicion points at her husband, Colonel James Lockyer-Fox. Despite a coroner's verdict of 'natural causes', gossip surrounding him refuses to die down. As the truth begins to unravel, it becomes clear that Shenstead is a place where secrets run deep and resentful women hold significant power. The village's inhabitants are not what they seem, and Ailsa's death has exposed long-buried tensions within her family. Colonel Lockyer-Fox's reclusive behaviour has raised concerns among those who know him, but he refuses to challenge the allegations that accuse him of far worse than his wife's death. Mark Ankerton, a London-based solicitor, is increasingly alarmed by James's situation as he becomes the target of a relentless campaign that threatens to destroy his reputation. With tensions escalating, it remains to be seen whether Colonel Lockyer-Fox will find justice or succumb to the forces arrayed against him.
