Publisher's Synopsis
Mr and Mrs Paul Temple
Having missed a train from Italy to Switzerland, the Temples take the next one with ex-FBI agent Harry McRoy and several suspicious characters. After McRoy tells Temple that the valise he is carrying must be delivered to Sir Graham Forbes events take an unexpected turn and an even more unexpected explanation!
Paul Temple re-opens a cold case when he is urged by a discharged convict to visit Fowey to meet Harry King, a grocer and local councillor - but what has the man who died in a Knightsbridge hotel to do with Harry King, what has the bottle of medicine to do with Dr Schumann, and how is all this connection with the Duke of Westfield's jewellery?
