Publisher's Synopsis
Meet Major Bricket, an infrequent resident of Highfield House in Stunston Peveril, Suffolk. His work assignments abroad have kept him away, creating an air of mystery around him. Now retired, he returns home in his little red sports car, only to find a clown's corpse on his lawn. The circus is in town for the annual village fair, but none of their clowns are missing. Could the body belong to an early guest at the Fincham Abbey Costume Ball? Major Bricket's past clandestine career makes him well-suited to solve the mystery of the dead clown on his camomile lawn.
