Case Of The Faithful Heart eBook

"Before she could finish what she wanted to say, she just gasped once or twice and died there in my arms."

Nothing seems amiss at the Hillier family dinner party but the very next morning Jacqueline Hillier is found dying in her car. Her clothes are dirty and torn, her face bruised, but it was an overdose of chloral hydrate which took her life. Nobody knows where she might have gone . . . and nobody knows why, after her funeral, her grave is covered in violets.

Anthony Bathurst, a guest at the local hostelry, is intrigued by the case, officially ruled as a suicide. Acting unofficially, outside of the police investigation, his resources are limited, yet he will need to move swiftly-Death is far from done with the Hillier family.

The Case of the Faithful Heart was first published in 1939. This new edition features an introduction by Steve Barge.
