Postern of Fate

A poisoning many years ago may not have been accidental after all. . .

Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. While rustling through a copy of The Black Arrow, Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings.

And sixty years after their first murder, Mary Jordan's enemies are still ready to kill. . .
