The Five Bells and Bladebone

About this book

When a dismembered corpse is found in the compartments of an antique secretaire a abattant Marshall Trueblood recipient of the precious piece of furniture is the first to protest: "I bought the desk not the body send it back." Who would want to kill Simon Lean the greedy nephew of the wealthy Lady Summerston? Leave it to Superintendent Richard Jury of Scotland Yard to suggest a connection to the murder of brassy Limehouse lady named Sadie Driver found dead near Wapping Old Stairs...if that stone-cold body on the slipway is really Sadie. Not even her brother Tommy on a visit from Gravesend can swear to it.
