Lawyer-sleuth Rosa Epton stumbles upon a bizarre and complex puzzle while investigating the hit-and-run death of a schoolboy and the seemingly unrelated murder of a former client
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly:
Barrister Rosa Epton finds herself drawn into an investigation when a former client, Philip Atherly, is found murdered on the grounds of Easter House School, where he once taught. Obvious suspects are the headmaster, Richard Brigstock, whose wife Sally was having an affair with the dead man, and the local squire, whose daughter had been made pregnant by Atherly. Earlier, a student at the school had been killed in an apparent accident, a hit-and-run. At the same time, Rosa is peripherally involved in another case, the disappearance of a young woman whom the barrister was apparently the last person to see. Although the cases have no outward connection except geographythey all take place in SussexRosa has a hunch they are related. Accompanied by her lover, Peter Chen, and hired by Atherly's girlfriend, Rosa noses around to ferret out the truth, eventually taking the law in her own hands. Underwood ( The Injudicious Judge ) provides more detection and less courtroom drama for his protagonist this time around, in a competent but curiously uncompelling story.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First U.S Edition. First U.S. edition, first printing, hardcover. Black cloth with gilt titles. 189 pages. Very good with head/tail of spine lightly bumped and former owner's name on front free endpaper, in a very good dust jacket with edgewear and rubbing at the folds. Mylar cover on jacket. "Returning home by train from a visit with an imprisoned client, Rosa reads of a schoolboy, Jason Cutler, killed late at night by a hit-and-run driver. She also witnesses a young girl behaving erratically. A few days later that same girl is reported missing. Rosa is puzzled by the coincidence; but when a client she has recently defended on a drugs charge is found murdered at the school Jason had attended, coincidence may be connection. It seems improbable, but Rosa cannot view one death without the other as she tries to disentangle the threads of both crimes. With the help of Peter Chen, a lawyer Rosa knows personally as well as professionally, she works to uncover the truth.". Seller Inventory # 007420
