The small town of Prior’s Umborne is alive with gossip and accusation. A rash of poison pen letters has been sent to some of the inhabitants. Bleeding out buried secrets from the recipients’ pasts, the letters have already driven one man to take his own life.

With fear and suspicion spreading like wildfire, Private Investigator Nigel Strangeways is called in by Sir Archibald Blick, a wealthy businessman with his own set of enemies, to determine who is behind these malicious letters.

But as Nigel becomes a part of village life, he uncovers more than just the author of these deadly notes. When another body is discovered, Nigel must work quickly to untangle a web of family secrets and rivalry, love triangles and ultimatums before old grudges claim another life.

You can’t keep Strangeways out of mischief. …

On a fine August day in Kensington Garden, a young boy is anxious to test out his speed boat. Unbeknownst to him, a police informant has been running for his life and is cornered in the park.

Realising the imminent danger, the boy tries to escape the two men now trailing him. With the help of Nigel Strangeways, he flees the park. It is only later that the boy realizes the true peril he is in – upon opening the note, he discovers the message states only his own name and age: Bert Hale 12.
