The “creatively plotted British mystery” that pits the married pair of sleuths against a killer—and against their best friend (Booklist).

Novelist Ingrid Langley is worried about her husband Patrick Gillard. Since retiring from the army, his search for a new job—and a new purpose—has fallen short.
