Pippsy and Jack fall into a convoluted crime once again.
A seemingly straightforward case soon becomes anything but.
A wife who claims her husband has been kidnapped or has he? And is she as naive as she appears?
Why is the husband making threatening noises at the pair?
Who are the couple who claim to be investigators, if in fact they are?
Pippsy and Jack have to team up with an acquaintance from a previous case. As usual, they need to use their wits more than once to keep ahead of the persons wishing them ill.
This is the fifth book in Katie Gray's 'Dead Series'.
