A Noble Murder. A Library Full of Secrets. A London Detective Caught in the Shadows of Scottish Aristocracy.
In the autumn of 1936, the quiet countryside of Ayrshire, Scotland, was shaken by a gruesome discovery: the eldest son of Lord Wallace, Viscount of Ayrshire, was found dead in the grand estate's library during a formal gathering. The crime was brutal. The suspect list? Elite.
Mr. Ernest Isaac Owen, a methodical London detective with a sharp eye and a colder sense of justice, was an invitee among the guests. Summoned from the city to navigate the complex world of nobility, secrets, and social facades, Owen must unearth the truth buried beneath layers of wealth and deceit.
As the walls of the country estate close in and the whispers of scandal grow louder, Owen realized the crime was more than a simple murder-it was a mirror of the darkness lurking in high society.
Set in the evocative landscapes of 1930s Scotland, this gripping historical whodunit is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and traditional British detective fiction.
If you enjoy classic murder mysteries, aristocratic intrigue, and atmospheric historical settings, this compelling novel will keep you guessing until the very last page.
