The peaceful seaside town of Seaborough, half-forgotten on the eastern border of the county, seems an unlikely setting for murder. When a leading resident dies, the cause of death is uncertain. Troubled Inspector Abbs and eager, young Sergeant Reeve are sent to determine whether the elderly spinster was poisoned. Behind the Nottingham lace curtains and over the bone china tea cups, trouble has been brewing. Seaborough is changing, new houses are going up and some prominent inhabitants are ambitious for the town to become a popular resort. When a second death follows, the detectives need to work fast to unravel the truth. Behind the elaborate rituals, is anyone truly mourning? As the leaves fall and secrets are laid bare, unmasking a murderer may have terrible consequences…

     But not every tale has been told. Drawing upon original text material, recently discovered, James G. Watson can now present this account of a case which his cousin, John Watson, felt was too sensitive to publish within the lifetimes of any of the principals involved. The peaceful atmosphere of an unremarkable country church is rudely disturbed by two unforeseen events; a storm damages its roof and organ, but worse is to come; the Church's one claim to distinction (a priceless artefact, known as the Buntingford Prayer Book) has disappeared from a securely-locked and completely intact safe, of which there are only two key-holders - the Rector and his Church Warden - both of them pillars of the community and beyond reproach. The situation is an impossible one ... until Holmes is called in ... James G. Watson M.D. has reconstructed this account from a draft left by his cousin, the late Dr. John Watson, whose scruples would not allow of its publication until the principal actors in the case were beyond the grave. Only now can the truth be told and the reasons behind the disappearance (and re-appearance) of a priceless national treasure be fully explained. All the clues are there, as the story unfolds, but only a mind such as that of Holmes can sift the relevant from the irrelevant, and draw the necessary deductions which lead to the surprising solution of this mystery. A must for all who enjoy the intellectual challenge of the original Holmes' stories, as told by their original author.
