Publisher's Synopsis
A lost fortune. A desperate hunt for answers. Can a persistent investigator unearth the truth and save a life?
Sydney, Australia, 1977. Miss Riddell just survived a mind-numbing audit. So when she's approached by an Australian woman seeking to prove she's entitled to inherit an affluent English estate, the amateur sleuth is tickled by the chance to crack an easy case. But when she heads to England and discovers the aristocratic claim has no substance, she didn't expect her dissatisfied client to follow... or the danger she would attract.
Helping the Aussie further her cause, Miss Riddell believes there's nothing left to uncover until she saves the woman from a hit and run. And with her keen eye spotting threats lurking in the shadows, the talented accountant is determined to expose a secret worthy of murder...
Can Miss Riddell unravel a sinister scheme before someone's greed sends the poor soul to her grave?
