About this ebook
There’s little chance for R & R during World War II when you have the reputation of British sleuth Patrick Dawlish.
A Hampshire country inn seems the perfect place to unwind for Captain Patrick Dawlish and his fiancée, Felicity, as World War II rages on. But all play and no work make Dawlish a bored man. Luckily for him, he’s never been able to dodge trouble when foul play is afoot . . .
A man as big as Dawlish rarely goes unnoticed, which appears to be the case when he senses someone watching him. That man is soon murdered by someone wearing Dawlish’s stolen uniform. Instead of a peaceful week away from the Home Defence Army, Dawlish finds himself the prime suspect in a murder. What better way to keep him from investigating what’s really going on? To make matters even more complicated, there’s a guest at the inn under suspicion for being a spy—with ties to Nazi Germany . . .
