> Roddy Gaskell, grandson of deceased shipping magnate Roderick "The Pirate King" Gaskell, believed in "finders keepers!"' His family were finders - of a priceless Old Master discovered behind a secret panel, and probably purloined by old Roderick himself. Locked in combat with his puritanical father over the famous oil's fate, Roddy had just consulted the celebrated barrister-detective Antony Maitland when the "hot" masterpiece led to cold-blooded murder. Someone had added lethal monkshood to daddy's daily vitamins, and Roddy was suspect number one. Could Antony prove Roddy innocent... and find out which art lover was a killer at heart?

📘 Let's Choose Executors

by Sara Woods

Antony Maitland #11 There hadn't been a murder in Chedcombe in over a hundred years until someone poisoned old Mrs. Randall. Her servants revealed that at Christmas the old lady argued with her grandson Hugo. Her servants testified that on Boxing Day she cut Hugo out of her will and made her penniless godchild, Fran Gifford, her sole heir. The local constabulary noted that on New Year's Eve someone made Mrs. Randall a hot toddy spiked with deadly foxglove. Fran Gifford was in custody the next afternoon. Just two days before trial, Anthony Maitland took the case for the defense. But as soon as Maitland started hunting about for new evidence, a shot in the dark made this case the most difficult test yet of his courtroom skills . . . and his ability to stay alive. - from fictionDb.com
