<DIV><B>In the English countryside, one of the well-mannered guests at Pigeonsford Estate may be a murderer in this series debut by an Edgar Award&ndash;nominated author.</B><BR /> &#160;</DIV><DIV>As war rages in Europe, the citizens of London flee to the country. At Pigeonsford, a group of guests plays cards, drinks tea, and acts polite&mdash;but Grace Morland knows the strong emotions that lurk beneath the placid social surface. She&rsquo;s painfully in love with Stephen Pendock, the squire of Pigeonsford, but Pendock&rsquo;s smitten with young beauty Francesca Hart. One afternoon, Fran debuts a new hat, and Grace&rsquo;s jealousy gets the better of her. She exclaims, &ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t be seen dead in a ditch in a thing like that!&rdquo; She will soon be proven wrong.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>Grace is found dead with the hat on her head&mdash;and her head removed from her neck. To the scene comes the incomparable Inspector Cockrill, who finds that far more than petty jealousy lies beneath this hideous murder.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV>
