“Expect plenty of puzzles, red herrings, and juicy murders” – Express

Susan Ryeland is tired of murder. After editing two novels about the famous detective Atticus Pnd, she has nearly been killed twice. Now back in England, she reluctantly agrees to work on a third novel.

The new novel, a ‘continuation’ by Eliot Crace, grandson of the late Miriam Crace, features a story where Miriam was believed to have been deliberately poisoned. When Eliot reveals to Susan that he has hidden the identity of the killer in his book, Susan knows she’s in danger once again.

As Susan delves into “Pnd’s Last Case,” set in a villa in the South of France, she uncovers striking parallels between the past and present, fiction and reality. Suddenly, she becomes a target herself as it becomes apparent someone in Eliot’s family will stop at nothing to prevent the book from being written.
