The eccentric Octavia Garamond leaves a will requesting the presence of the police at her funeral and recommending that the coroner carefully examine her body. The strangeness caused by these demands is accentuated by new unusual facts: the deceased's house is searched from end to end, the village priest refuses to preside over the funeral ceremonies, and two large companies enter into litigation following this death. Upon taking the case, Chief Inspector C. D. Sloan will have to solve several intertwined mysteries.
Kinn Hamilton McIntosh, known professionally as Catherine Aird, was an English novelist. She was the author of more than twenty crime fiction novels and several collections of short stories. Her witty, literate, and deftly plotted novels straddle the "cozy", "traditional" and "police procedural" genres and are somewhat similar in flavour to those of Martha Grimes, Caroline Graham, M. C. Beaton, Margaret Yorke, and Pauline Bell. Aird was inducted into the prestigious Detection Club in 1981, and is a recipient of the 2015 Cartier Diamond Dagger award.
