Tensions run high at rambling old Haggburn Hall.

Arnold is working on an archaeological dig in the grounds when he meets the owner, eccentric Vita Delaney.

On a whim, she invites Arnold for dinner with her inner-circle. The guests gather at her table, eagerly anticipating the evening ahead. Vita’s decadent suppers are ordinarily the stuff of legend. But not tonight. As the wine begins to flow, tongues loosen and tempers fray . . .

Past grudges, hidden jealousies, dangerous flirtations.

And that’s not all. A stranger comes to the village, armed with a shotgun and eager to settle an old score.

His name means nothing to Mrs Delaney. But someone at Haggburn Hall remembers him.

And they’ll stop at nothing to keep their secrets . . .

Is the feud about to turn deadly?

Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.
