The Cavalier Case — Antonia Fraser

IT'S A CASE OF MURDER, PLAIN AND SIMPLE--EXCEPT THE PRIME SUSPECT HAS BEEN DEAD THREE HUNDRED YEARS!

After the violent death of his predecessor, a former tennis superstar finds himself the new lord of Lackland Court. But he's about to learn that the only winner in this court is death itself!

Sex, sport, and the supernatural: it was the kind of story the media couldn't get enough of , and investigative TV reporter Jemima Shore had a date on center court. "Handsome Dan" Meredith has hung up his tennis racket and plans to convert the stately Elizabethan mansion into an exclusive country club. Among the irate relatives who object to his plan is Decimus Meredith, the dashing, seventeenth-century Cavalier poet, soldier, and first Viscount of Lackland. His ghost has been spotted walking the marble halls again and historically that means one thing: Someone is going to die.

Now with the headlines screaming, the family feuding, and the body count rising, it's up to the intrepid Jemima Shore to unmask the flesh-and-blood killer behind the romantic ghost...if there is one.
