A going concern

A bizarre clause in an elderly woman's will exposes a dirty secret and a ruthless killing in this absorbing mystery from Diamond Dagger winner Catherine Aird It was an odd request, but when Octavia Garamond passed away, she left explicit instructions in her will: The police must be present at her funeral, and the coroner should be exceptionally thorough when examining her body. Amelia Kennerly is perplexed to find herself the sole executor of her great-aunt's will, as she barely knew her. Further questions arise when the local parson, Mr. Fournier, is anything but happy to conduct Octavia's service. Then someone breaks into Octavia's home and tears the house apart. It seems the old lady's words may have been eerily prescient: "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here."

  • "Inspector C.D. Sloan investigates the death of Octavia Garamond, who left behind some very unusual requests and whose past contains a long-kept, and potentially dangerous, secret, as well as the reason for her death."
  • "Octavia Garamond's will is very odd, she requests a police presence at her funeral and a thorough examination of her body. The fears of a deranged woman? When her house is broken into and her papers ransacked, Inspector Sloane realizes she was in real fear. The murder probe is held against a background of biochemical research. By the author of Body Politic."
  • "Strange circumstances indicate that perhaps Octavia Garamond's death at the age of eighty was not just because of old age and that perhaps all of her very particular written requests were not simply the ramblings of a senile old lady."@en
