A witty whodunit set in WWII England starring "one of the more interesting married teams of detectives . . . A sort of globetrotting Nick and Nora" ( Thrilling Detective). While in England, Pat and Jean Abbott are focused on contributing to the war effort in whatever way they can, but they don't mind taking a weekend to join some other American expats at the country home of advertising man Steve Hayward and his wife. But before much fun can be had, a body is found on the premises. Pat isn't so sure that everyone's impulse to blame the death on a passing drifter or a Nazi spy is the answer—and when the spotlight of suspicion falls on a member of a house party he's sure is innocent, he starts getting reluctantly involved in the case . . . Praise for the Pat and Jean Abbott Mysteries "Lively and exciting." — The New York Times "Well-plotted and mystifying." — Saturday Review
