On his stroll through the estate grounds, his beagle alongside him, Selwyn sniffed the air and looked about with a rapturous smile. 'A good wife, if a bit spirited, a gorgeous son, good staff, all this - and, of course, you.' He stooped to pat the dog. 'What more could a chap ask for?' Welcome to idyllic Wisstingham Hall and the world of Commander Selwyn Fitzgerald, where all is not quite as it seems... Selwyn's hopes that he will finally discover his family's long-lost treasure are plunged into disarray with the discovery of an old map and deed. Little does he realise that this find will expose him and others to villainy, betrayal - and murder. Whilst the unwitting Selwyn battles with tragic personal loss - and the local council - dark forces plot his downfall. As the body count increases, can the commander trust his greedy son, his temperamental estate manager and his protégé, Sebastian? Or, as he fears, is he entirely alone in trying to escape a dangerous web of intrigue and even death? In this sparkling new novel, the first of the The Wisstingham Mysteries, Nigel Hanson introduces a cast of endearing, humorous and sometimes sinister characters. They will change your ideas about tranquil country life for ever!
