The Lazarus Tree by Robert Richardson

About This Book

A Pretty Place For Murder

In the picture-postcard English village of Medmelton, the air remains thick with enchantment of centuries past. Here, women have strange eyes -- one brown, one green--and superstition and magic still rule.

When a famous London poet is murdered beneath the legendary Lazarus Tree, Medmelton is forced into the spotlight. Eventually the curiosity seekers drift away, but the mystery still lingers. And Gus Maltravers, at the request of a friend alarmed by the strange behavior of his stepdaughter, agrees to investigate.

But when Gus begins making Medmelton's very private affair his business, he finds as many unanswered questions as questionable answers...and a killer desperate to hide the secrets of past and present at all costs.
