The Duke Of York's Steps

On a foggy London evening, a powerful banker collapses on the Duke of York's Steps. The doctors call it a tragic accident. But Inspector Poole of Scotland Yard suspects a deadly, concealed truth.

Sir Garth Fratten is a pillar of London’s financial world, a man of immense wealth and respect. When he dies after a seemingly trivial stumble, the city mourns a great loss. Yet, the official story doesn't add up. The witnesses saw nothing. The victim's own doctor is certain of the cause. But a secret post-mortem reveals a brutal, impossible-to-explain injury.

Assigned to the case, Inspector John Poole of Scotland Yard is plunged into a world of deceit where everyone has something to hide. He uncovers a family torn apart by lies, a son with a powerful motive, and a financial empire built on a massive, audacious swindle. The key to the case seems to be a mysterious woman named Daphne and a femme fatale with a shocking secret of her own.

This is more than a simple murder. It is a conspiracy so perfectly planned it was designed to be invisible. The closer Poole gets to the truth, the more vulnerable he becomes, because the killers have already proven they are ruthless and will do anything to protect their fortune.

Fans of Agatha Christie's intricate puzzles and the classic suspense of Dorothy L. Sayers will be captivated by this rediscovered gem from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction.

With every clue pointing to an impossible crime, Poole must face a chilling question: How do you catch a killer who can murder a man in plain sight, with his best friend at his side?
