‘Ambitious landscaping plans at Rowland Sinclair’s family rural estate reveal the gun used to kill his father more than a decade earlier. The bohemian artist and amateur sleuth is suddenly the chief suspect, and when his Communist friends come to his defence, tensions escalate between him and his brother Wilfred. Fans of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie will love Gentill’s novel, the sixth in the intelligent and amusing Rowland Sinclair series set in 1930s Australia.’
