Books by Miles Burton

How can an elderly lady, discovered lying dead in a hammock by her great-niece and companion, be sitting up and calmly giving an interview with reporters only minutes later? That is the perplexing question that comes to the ears of debonair sleuth Desmond Merrion in this 1950 mystery from the prolific Miles Burton.

When the new landlord is stabbed to death in his pub, and Scotland Yard are called to the scene, it seems that the veil dividing High Eldersham from the outside world is about to be lifted.
