Description
One of the great country house detective novels, entertaining and ingenious.
Marion Sharpe and her mother are quiet and ordinary villagers, enjoying a peaceful life in their country home, the Franchise. Everything changes when a local schoolgirl accuses them of kidnap and abuse, describing the attic room of the house as her prison.
Scotland Yard inspector Alan Grant is called to solve the mystery of the Franchise, but will he fall right in the middle of a nightmarish affair that will change a town, and its locals' lives, forever?

About the Author
Josephine Tey began to write full-time after the successful publication of her first novel, The Man in the Queue (1929), which introduced Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard. It wasn't until after the Second World War that the majority of her crime novels were published. Born in Inverness, Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.
