Carole Matthews is one of the bestselling women's fiction writers around. Crime & Mystery
Synopsis
Inspector Gil Mayo’s case is deceptively simple – until the suspect produces a gem of an alibi.When local antique jeweller Nigel Fontenoy’s body is found at his cousin’s building site, both DCI Gil Mayo and DI Abigail Moon suspect that they needn’t search far down the family tree for the murderer. After all, Fontenoy’s cousin, Jake Wilding, was heavily in debt to the dead man and his inability to offer a plausible account of his whereabouts cast him in an even more dubious light. Things look bleaker still for him when traces of Fonetenoy’s blood are found on one of his trucks.
But the puzzle becomes more intricate when Wilding finally names his alibi - an ex-wife - and claims that Fontenoy had been pressuring him to secure something of great value from the woman. Is it a priceless piece of jewellery or something even more precious?
