Dear Jack, I think Im about to be arrested and charged with murder. Tom Morris, busy cataloguing the library of Plumwood Hall, is in a fix. Three days before, a member of the family had keeled over at afternoon tea after eating a slice of fruit cake laced with poison. And Tom has been fingered by the weasellike Inspector Hyde as chief suspect. The young scholar turns to the only person who can help his old Oxford tutor, C. S. (Jack) Lewis. As they investigate, mystery piles on mystery. Why did the victims husband disappear twelve months before? Why is a strange tattooed foreigner living in a cottage on the moors? Who is the wild man of the woods? And most puzzling of all how did a massive dose of cyanide get into just one slice of cake? This mindtwisting case has all the hallmarks of a classic Country House Mystery. Woven throughout the story is an engaging conversation about Lewiss Christian worldview.
