It was an accepted fact that Beatrice
Maybrick, owner and operator of the Maybrick Literary Agency, accidentally fell
to her death. Or did she? Esme Timmons thought not, her suspicions fuelled by a
letter she received from Beatrice following the tragic incident. Faced with
this dilemma, Esme takes steps to find the killer.
Meanwhile, Detective Chief Inspector
Alistair Fitzjohn commences his investigation into the suspicious death of
entrepreneur, Preston Alexander. With robbery ruled out as the motive, Fitzjohn
is drawn to Preston’s investment portfolio and the Maybrick Literary Agency.
Finding an antiquated establishment where
uncertainty prevails following the demise of its owner, Beatrice Maybrick,
Fitzjohn asks himself two questions. Why did the high flying investor, Preston
Alexander, invest in such a business, and did it lead to his death?
