The black ship - Carola Dunn

It is 1925 and the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple, her husband Alec Fletcher and their recently born twins move to a large new home on the outskirts of London. Set in a small circle of houses, it seems like the idyllic setting- that is until a murder victim turns up under the bushes of the garden. American gangsters and an international liquor smuggling operation via black ships turn everything upside down . Alec, in his role as Scotland Yard detective ferrets out the truth- but Daisy identifies the man and finds out who it was who did him in!
