The Red Queen

Beschreibung

One calm night in Twickenham, a businessman named Tom Treadnor is shot off his barstool at The Queen. Superintendent Richard Jury is called in to investigate, and quickly realizes that everyone in Treadnor's life - from his widow, Alice, to the staff at his manor, to his business partner - had differing opinions of him.<BR><BR>Meanwhile, Wiggins, Jury's partner at New Scotland Yard, becomes sidetracked by an investigation of his own: his sister, missing for years and presumed dead, has just sent a postcard to their mother.

When Wiggins takes off in search of his sister, the two investigations begin to converge.<BR><BR>Funny, eccentric and fueled by Richard Jury's talent for seeing clues in the most unlikely places, The Red Queen is a welcome return to a classic character and an exciting addition to a series that has been called 'delightful, surprising, even magical' (Washington Post).
