The Dead Want It Back – Paperback

Tilda Fenner has one week to recover a borrowed family watch and deliver it for an eighteenth birthday. Her late client left clear instructions. The people still alive are proving less helpful.

At the repair shop, Tilda receives the wrong watch. Behind the workshop door, she finds a dead man.

The genuine heirloom has vanished into a trade built on trust, discretion and other people’s money. A grandson has been lying about where it has been. A dealer has paperwork nobody wants explained. And someone in the family is prepared to let the dead take all the blame.

As Tilda follows the missing watch, every attempt to put things right exposes another reason to keep them hidden. Before she can honour one woman’s last request, she must decide which living person she can afford to believe.

A complete murder mystery with dry humour and a dangerous family secret. The third case for The Last Request Agency.
