Publisher's Synopsis
Americans may have Colonial Williamsburg, but for the Brits, there?s ?Old England,? an elaborate theme park that pays homage to a similarly imaginary glorious past. At Old England, the woods are lush with game-birds and round every corner is a pink-cheeked, mob-capped maid bobbing a curtsey. It?s no wonder the tourists are happy to buy tickets. Lately, though, there?s been a fly in the ointment. The two doddering old war-heroes who own the estate have slipped from charmingly eccentric to disturbingly nuts, and one of the ?servants? has committed suicide. What Inspector Jimmy Pibble finds beneath the daydream is not exactly a green and pleasant land.
