A gripping stand-alone story of murder and espionage in pretty Primrose Hill.
It’s spring of 1921, and the Secret Agents are sent to investigate a case that must be handled delicately. In a charming London garden square, there lives a murderer. The police are as certain of this as they can be, but they can go no further. Who among the residents killed one of their own? Burgoyne’s Agency has only a few days to find out.To complicate matters, at the far end of the square is a certain house — a red, Soviet, Bolshevik house — that Burgoyne’s is under Home Office orders not to disturb. Sophie and her friends must step carefully, for they tread the thin ice of international diplomacy. Under no circumstances are they to agitate the dark, turbid waters of Anglo-Russian relations.
Then there are the neighbours — unpredictable and often difficult, with a killer living amongst them. The Secret Agents must first fit in before they can pierce the armour of respectability to reveal that one wicked heart, beating among the blameless.
The only way the Secret Agents can maintain their pluck and good humour in the face of the steep challenges set before them is that they must have a dog!
