Can a life be mended when it was shattered by a lie?

Tommy Kilbourne is missing, presumed...

Well, Lucas Rathbone has no idea, actually, and the latest ghost to demand the reluctant psychic's help suggests his missing frenemy has done something criminally — and potentially fatally — stupid this time.

As Tommy lacks any other friends, it's up to Lucas and fiancée Clara to find the wretched man before either the police or a vengeful gang do. Neither would let the silly devil live to see Christmas, which would only upset Clara and Lucas couldn't stand that.

That and he's almost starting to like the fellow these days. Almost.

All right, so maybe Kilbourne isn't as bad as Lucas first thought, and the spirits giving him a heartbreaking insight into the man's fractured soul are perhaps,
perhaps helping him see why Tommy is the way he is...

But that won't matter if they can't find him in time, will it?

***

Tommy Kilbourne is in hiding, but that isn't entirely unusual.

At least this time, he's staying with, ahem, a
friend who, though not terribly bright and rather needier than Tommy would like, is mostly a good sort.

She's certainly better than the gang of criminals hunting him down, or the cops that'll see him swing for murder given half a chance.

More importantly, she soothes the fragements of his heart, broken by tragedy early in his life and scattered by the cruelty of those who were supposed to keep him safe.

Yes, Tommy is used to life dealing him a bad hand. He just needs to wait this latest one out.

However, this hand may just be his last.

And he doesn't even realise.

Praise for Saffron Amatti

"You quote Father Brown, you’re dying to visit Midsomer, and Phryne Fisher is your style icon. Now it’s time to meet Lucas Rathbone."

"This is what mysteries should be."

"If you like period mysteries in the vein of Agatha Christie or Mary Stewart then Amatti has your next read ready for you."

"These mysteries are fresh, well-plotted, and expertly crafted. Wholesome fun, well-written and funny, and a joy to read. They would make an excellent TV series! I wish I could rate them 10 stars!"
