A Cassie Swann Mystery
When Cassie Swann is knocked off her bike on a quiet country road, the driver leaves her unconscious and bleeding at the roadside. But when a man later confesses, and the police gratefully close the case, the mystery actually deepens.
Something about the guilt-induced confession of this outwardly respectable man doesn't smell right, and Cassie's relentless suitor Charlie Quartermain, determined to prove a knight in shining armour, cannot resist doing a little detective work -to the consternation of Cassie and her policeman lover Paul Walsh.
Then, when a young student at Oxford is brutally murdered with a broken bottle, Charlie suspects that the two incidents are somehow connected. Is Charlie taking it all too seriously in his attempt to win Cassie's heart - as well as her body - or has he stumbled on to an appalling conspiracy? And if he has, can he save her from another "accident" - this time a fatal one?
