First UK edition. Slim volume. Price still on dustjacket. Nice condition. “Who was the caped figure running for the trees on the night the chapel burned down? Which of these red-bearded men is the real Ben Bowers? Will Janet Rigby make a break for freedom? And just how far will Miss Hilda Pritchard go to avenge the loss of her beloved view?

For accidents are not always accidents, opportunity knocks only once, and the meekest of parishioners may be pushed too far… No shoplifting or parking fines for Katharine Moore’s gentle offenders: Arson and Fraud, Art Theft and Forgery, Manslaughter and Criminal deception are more in their line. That’s what the Law says but the Law has got to catch them first, and who would point the finger at these spinsters, nuns, pensioners and humble clerks? Those people don’t DO such things…” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
