David Blest. There's something fishy about the old man who quarreled with the victim the night before. The doggedly determined Blest can't let the matter rest and uses a leave from work to follow his suspect to the coast. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What Blest finds in Westbourne-on-Sea is sun, sand, and suspicious characters, including his elderly target acting as guardian to a sickly girl. But Miss Judy Wellington is only pretending to be ill. Unbeknownst to Blest, she's really an heiress with a secret inheritance--one that pays off big to her husband if she marries before she turns twenty-five. With only months to go before that deadline, vultures are circling around her. Her guardian's choice of a husband--a known conman--is killed. All Blest knows is that he's in too deep, and he'll protect Judy come hell or high water . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"By modern standards, where anything goes, this a bit of a cosy mix of villainy, romance, intrigue, and mystery. It's also a bit of a potboiler . . . This story, as much a thriller as mystery, is a fine example of its period and well worth the read, not only for the legions of Allingham fans.\" --\u003ci\u003eCrime Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 11, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751869481248,"sku":"9781504092357","price":24.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/15601b059f2cfc4ff33ea58b45a756b9.webp?v=1779982380","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/rogues-holiday-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
