'At the entrance stood a man in a distinctive straw hat that had seen better days. His round face bore a full salt-and-pepper beard and deep-set eyes which briefly scanned the room before he made his way to the bar.'

Welcome to Archie Fox, a man who'll bring chaos and death to Wisstingham Hall.

Desperate to recover Wisstingham Estate's embezzled money, Commander Selwyn Fitzgerald and protégé Sebastian rush to France, unaware that murderous forces are closing in on them.

Their encounter with an engaging but wily villain and wanted man only increases their danger.

Meanwhile, in Selwyn's absence, the scheming council leader embarks on a strategy which will ruin the estate. And the arrival in Wisstingham of a ghost from the past comes to haunt Selwyn and his ancestral home...

As the villains converge and events culminate in a deadly climax, how can Selwyn and Sebastian possibly survive?

In this second book in the Wisstingham Mysteries series, Nigel Hanson masterfully engages the reader in the intriguing and exciting world of Wisstingham with its lovable, loathsome, colourful and compelling characters.

Nigel Hanson enjoyed a varied career, starting out as a civil engineer and later branching into project management for major British companies, both in the UK and Saudi Arabia. From there he became the commercial manager for a group of Lancashire-based engineering companies, eventually leading to the role of general manager of a major UK desalination plant company. For the last thirteen years of his career, he took a totally different path and became Blackpool's first town centre manager, eventually succeeding in creating the first Business Improvement District in the north-west. Since retirement, much of his leisure time has been spent on what he always wanted to do in life - writing.
