Jill Staynes Libri
Jill Staynes crea narrazioni sotto il suo nome e come Elizabeth Eyre e Susannah Stacey. In collaborazione con Margaret Storey, ha prodotto sia l'acclamata serie di gialli moderni del Sovrintendente Bone sia un'accattivante serie di thriller ambientati nel Rinascimento italiano. Le due autrici si legarono per la prima volta attraverso la narrazione fantasiosa durante i loro giorni di scuola, creando personaggi bizzarri e scambiandosi storie serializzate su di loro. La loro giovanile collaborazione letteraria, un'impresa quindicenne intitolata 'Bungho, or why we went to Aleppo', rimase inedita ma presagì la loro proficua partnership.

SOME GUESTS DON'T KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE... The party at the Manor had been a smash, and rock star Ken Cryer was feeling, well pleased... until he found golden Alix Hamilton in his bed. Despite her seductive pose, Alix didn't fancy Ken, or anyone else. She was dead—shot twice, with two different guns, in a room Cryer had specifically locked against intruders. For Superintendent Robert Bone, these were only the first complications in a case that would include champagne corks that masked the sound of gunfire, a missing, suspect, a stolen religious artifact, an orphaned cat, and the unexpected assistance of one very pretty biology teacher. But it would take a second body to lead Bone, at last, to the unrepentant murderer...
Superintendent Bone und seine frisch angetraute Frau Grizel rechnen mit ein paar ruhigen Ferientagen, als sie sich auf ihre Rundreise zu einigen alten englischen Herrensitzen begeben. Doch spätestens auf Roke Castle nimmt ihr Urlaub eine unerwartete Wendung: ein Mitglied der Reisegesellschaft und der exzentrische Lord Roke kommen auf bizarre Art ums Leben. Bone merkt schnell, daß die Kollegen von der örtlichen Polizei überfordert sind, und nimmt die Sache selbst in die Hand. Keine Minute zu früh!
