Description
"Mr. Kemp, someone is trying to kill me . . . "
Thus confided wealthy, charming seventy-year-old Rose Amaury to Lennox Kemp, whom she had asked to prepare her will. But before Kemp can investigate, Rose is found dead, victim of a bungled robbery attempt.
Was Rose's death, in fact, a tragic accident ...or premeditated murder? The facts are scarce--and bizarre. Most curious of all is a missing manuscript written by the dead woman. A story, Kemp is certain, that holds the key to Rose Amaury's murder.
But when a broken arm, a bruised ego and strong warnings from British Intelligence to forget the case make the mystery even more complex, Kemp realizes there is something infinitely more sinister at play....
