Sarah Walsingham is facing the wrong way. Worse still, she dead.

DCI Jack Farley comes to investigate a murder at Abinger Manor, home of the Onslow family for centuries. When the last of the Onslow’s dies Sarah Walsingham and ex-professional tennis player Jonathan Walsingham move in along with their faithful retainer Simmonds. When Sarah is found dead, half in the cupboard, and half out, DCI Farley is troubled by the way she is lying.

Was this a burglary gone wrong or is there a deeper mystery to be solved?

In the blistering heat of a Surrey summer, Jack twiddles his fingers and stiffens his sinews one more time to get to the truth.
