About this ebook
Following the sudden death of the family patriarch, Udo Dapifer, the silence of mourning at Dawling Hall is broken by a second, more sinister tragedy. His eldest son, Captain Godwin, is found dead in his bed within the White and Gold Room. The door is bolted from the inside, the windows secured, yet an antique hunting knife is buried in his heart, turning a sanctuary into a sealed tomb.
Amidst a house divided by suspicion and greed, Udo’s devoted daughter, Brenda, finds an unlikely champion in ‘Mr. Goodman’, a mysterious stranger with a regal bearing and a hidden agenda. As he delves into the family’s secrets, Goodman uncovers a trail of damning evidence: a blood-stained green ribbon dropped in the night, a cryptic telegram signed with a baptismal name, and a fashionable London dressmaker whose presence at the remote estate arouses deep suspicion.
First published in 1916, Flower o’ the Peach weaves a tale of royal romance and cold-blooded murder, where a locked door is no barrier to a determined killer.
