Treasure up in Smoke

Description

Mark Treasure mysteries #3 King Charles Island, a sleepy British colony in the West Indies, comes suddenly awake after the terrible murder of its most influential citizen. The supposed culprit is the hapless Peregrine Gore - assistant to banker-sleuth Mark Treasure - but he'd rather flee than stop and sample the island's rudimentary justice system. Treasure arrives on the island with his actress-wife Molly to find it in mayhem, and volunteers to help the baffled Chief Inspector find the real villain from among a bewildering bunch of suspects. But this time he may have bitten off more than he can chew - it will be hard to prove Peregrine's innocence when he was discovered clutching the victim's severed head... *Treasure up in Smoke* is the third bombastic installment in David Williams' wonderfully witty series of murder mysteries about urbane banker and detective, Mark Treasure.
