Publisher's Synopsis
When a retired Hollywood actor starts getting threatening letters, Janet Markham Bennett, retired teacher, and her husband, Edward Bennett, retired spy, are sent to investigate. Benjamin Everest may have quit acting, but he's also about to embark on a whirlwind publicity tour, and Janet and Edward have to go along for the ride.
Benjamin gave up his career to settle in a country house in Yorkshire with his wife, Josephine. Now it seems as if someone wants him to go back to work, and that someone is threatening Josephine's life if Benjamin refuses. Benjamin doesn't want Josephine to know about the letters, which complicates the matter. As time goes by, it starts to seem increasingly likely that someone in Benjamin's entourage is responsible for the letters, which keeps Janet and Edward on full alert. Can Janet and Edward keep Josephine safe as the Hollywood super couple spend time promoting a London museum exhibit and then fly to New York City for the opening of a Broadway show? Can they work out who actually has a reason to want Benjamin to go back to work? And can Janet find a way to get out of sitting through the grand opening of Xosis Man: The Musical?
