Vernon Gray is the oldest and richest of the residents of the four flats on the sixth floor of a block in his small seaside town. After seeing her on TV, he has instructed Rosa Epton to draft his last will and testament, when another of her clients demands her attention on an urgent matter: he has been accused of stealing five pounds from the collection plate at the end of the Sunday morning service. And then Vernon Gray disappears, along with his housekeeper, leaving a welter of puzzling clues to confuse the police, and the learned Rosa.

About the Author:
Michael Underwood (the pseudonym of John Michael Evelyn) was born in Worthing, Sussex and educated at Christ Church College, Oxford. He was called to the Bar in 1939 and served in the British army during World War Two. He returned to work in the Department of Public Prosecutions until his retirement in 1976, and wrote almost 50 crime novels informed by his career in the law. His five series characters include Sergeant Nick Atwell and lawyer Rosa Epton, of whom it was said by the Washington Post that she 'outdoes Perry Mason'.
From AudioFile:
Stephen Thorne's wonderful baritone and terrific British accent add a great deal to this fine British mystery. His clear and well-paced reading will keep listeners spellbound as this story twists and turns. Though most of the characters are male, they are easily distinguishable. Thorne's portrayal of Detective Superintendent Manton makes him come alive. Through the entire six hours, the question of WHO masterminded the audacious robbery of £80,000 in gold looms! S.C.A.
