Emily Brightwell: Mrs Jeffries Appeals the Verdict, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A man's life hangs in the balance.

After a perfectly decent local woman is killed during a robbery, the Witherspoon household receives a surprising visit from a stranger named Blimpey Groggins. He claims his best buddy was convicted of the crime. He also claims the peaceable chap didn't even know how to fire a gun. And considering he's to be hanged in three weeks, Blimpey's desperate to find the real killer. With the trail cold, the crime allegedly solved, and the evidence mucked up, Mrs Jeffries and her belowstairs cohorts have their work cut out for them if they want to save an innocent man from the gallows.
