    About this ebook

    The Stormhaven Etiquette Society, a secretive affair, unafraid to name and shame those who transgress

    Model Services, the town’s only brothel, a discreet but busy presence in Church Street

    Bybuckle Asylum, a desolate shell on the seafront that housed over seven hundred mental patients prior to ‘care in the community’

    What brings these three together is a cold-blooded execution that both shocks and confounds. For lying dead in the empty asylum, tied to an old metal bed frame, is a pillar of the establishment. Or is she?

    Sleuthing couple DI Tamsin Shah and her remarkable cleric uncle join forces once again to solve a murder mystery that reveals dark secrets from Abbot Peter’s tempestuous student years.

    ‘Do we ever leave anything behind?’ he wonders as the killer swings the gun barrel towards him . . .

    ‘To a long list of much-loved detective pairings, which includes Holmes and Watson, Poirot and Hastings, and Morse and Lewis, we must now add Abbot Peter and Tamsin Shah’. Church Times
