Mrs Jeffries pinches the post - Emily Brightwell

A RUTHLESS END FOR A RUTHLESS MAN

Harrison Nye may have been involved in some dubious business dealings,
but no one ever expected him to be murdered. Now Inspector Witherspoon
must root out the perpetrator of the underhanded deed. Nye's business
associate visited him just hours before the murder and seems to know
more than he's letting on. And when his maid disappears, this dirty
business gets even deadlier. Now, Mrs. Jeffries and her staff must root
through the sins of Nye's past to discover which one caught up with him . . .
