He moved from the big city in search of a quiet life, but now that he's faced with the suspicious death of an arrogant plantation owner, it looks like Nuala won't be as peaceful as he'd hoped. He's going to need all his experience to unravel the mystery and prove his worth to his new British boss. this is a vintage-style mystery set in the 1930s, spiced with colorful characters and a dash of humor.
