Private Detective Agatha Raisin immerses herself in the glittering lifestyle
of the fabulously wealthy when Sir Charles Fraith is accused of murder - and
Agatha is named as his accomplice!

A high-society wedding, a glitzy masked ball, and an introduction to the world
of international show-jumping where the riders are glamorous, the horses are
beautiful, and intrigue runs deep, leave Agatha with a list of suspects as
long as a stallion's tail.

Sinister evidence then emerges that appears to seal Sir Charles's fate and
Agatha must uncover the truth before a net of skulduggery closes around him
and he loses his ancestral home, his entire estate, and his freedom. And if
events weren't complicated enough... Agatha's ex-husband James Lacey is back
in Carsely and back in Agatha's heart...
