ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG 'A joy from start to finish. This is crime writing at its best' JANICE HALLETT Cornwall 1910. On a remote tidal island the Viscount of Tithe Hall is absorbed in feverish preparations for the apocalypse that he believes will accompany the passing of Halley's Comet.

But what the pompous dishonest Viscount has failed to take into account is the danger that lies within... By morning he will be dead in his sealed study murdered by his own ancestral crossbow. All eyes turn to Stephen Pike Tithe Hall's newest under-butler. Fresh out of Borstal for a crime he didn't commit he is the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time. His unlikely ally?

Fearless and unconventional she relishes chaos and puzzles alike and a murder is just the thrill she's been waiting for. Together this mismatched duo must navigate secret passages buried grudges and rising terror to unmask the killer before it's too late...
