THE ACCOMPLICE.
Edition: Trade paperback.
New York: Felony & Mayhem, (2006). The first US publication of the third mystery novel by this British "diplomatic spouse" who hid her identity for many years, - originally published in the UK in 1996. Jean Loftus has lived at Ashe House for more than 40 years, but when workmen unearth the skeleton of a child from that garden, the skeletons from Jean's past begin rising to the surface. The life they speak of - a childhood in Revolutionary Russia, chaotic years as a refugee between the two world wars - was neither orderly nor English. Zita Daunsey, Jean's neighbor, friend and attorney, herself the daughter of a Russian mother, would like to help Jean protect her secrets, but how far would she go to do so? A novel of psychological suspense, told from several different viewpoints. 355 pp. ISBN: 1-93339750.
