Countess Maeve Morgan is still adjusting to life as an aristocrat when an urgent telegram shatters her newfound routine. The father of her loyal private secretary-an inmate serving time for fraud-is now accused of murdering a fellow prisoner. With his release date approaching, a conviction would doom him to a lifetime behind bars. Worse still, the accusation sends Maeve's trusted aide into a spiral of distress.
Determined to uncover the truth, Maeve travels to Naybower Prison with her lawyer and private secretary, only to find herself wading into a case riddled with deceit. The murdered man had no shortage of enemies, and the deeper Maeve digs, the clearer it becomes that someone wants to see the accused rot in jail-whether he's guilty or not.
With an inept police force eager to close the case, unreliable witnesses who twist the truth, and a prison teeming with secrets, Maeve must unravel a tangled web of lies before it's too late. Can she prove an innocent man's innocence, or will a cunning killer ensure the real truth is locked away forever?
A crumbling estate, a reluctant detective, and murders that turn high society upside down-The Maeve Morgan Cozy Murder Mysteries is a spinoff of the bestselling Lady Darriby-Jones Mystery series that promises intrigue, laughter, and plenty of twists!
