Death at Windsor Castle: Her Majesty Investigates: Her Majesty Investigates

Autor C.C. Benison
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 1998
Housemaid Jane Bee's summer duties run to dusting the props for a week of pageantry at Windsor Castle, the Queen's favorite haunt. But the Investiture of the new Knights of the Garter ends up combining pomp with a extremely unpleasant circumstance.... Mild-mannered art curator Roger Pettibon is found dead, a ceremonial sword in his back and a Royal Garter around his knee.

The police are quick to arrest moody Court painter Victor Fabiani, at work on a portrait of the regal face that launched a billion postage stamps. But Fabiani's confession--despite its story of art forgery and blackmail--doesn't ring true to Jane. Nor to Her Majesty, who dispatches her on a discreet inquiry among the cream of society gathered for the Ascot races. And, as Jane traces the twisty lineage of more than one family, Windsor's ancient battlements witness a second death--and their second ordeal in five years, by fire and water....

Descriere

When Windsor Castle's mild-mannered art curator is found dead with an official sword in his back and a Royal Garter around his knee, housemaid Jane Bee puts her dusting on hold to catch a ceremonious killer. And though the evidence points to a moody Court painter, Jane searches for a killer closer to the family.
