When an old woman dies of apparently natural causes, a letter received by her son leads Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan into a disturbing investigation into possible murder in a regimental retirement home for World War II veterans.
A letter received by an old woman’s son after her death alerts Detective Inspector C. D. Sloane that one woman’s death by natural causes in a local nursing home may actually be murder. But that is just the beginning of the odd events in this nursing home catering to former members of a WWII regiment.
Gertrude Powell’s death seemed outwardly natural but when her son reveals a letter in which she maintains someone was trying to kill her, D.I. Sloan’s investigations unearth some mysterious facts that lead to another murder case.
Part of the Sloan and Crosby series – see the full reading order on the Catherine Aird Books in Order page.
