Heirs of the body

When a claimant to the title of Lord Dalrymple comes to a sticky end, the cry goes up: 'Was it murder?' The Honourable Daisy Dalrymple is recruited by her cousin Edgar, to help him find the next heir to the viscountcy. They come up with four claimants, who are invited to Fairacres. They're a mixed bunch. A hotelier, a diamond merchant, a mixed-race boy and a sailor. But then the sailor goes missing ... and so begins a series of inexplicable accidents, resulting in the death of one of the would-be heirs. Daisy is left wondering who might be behind all this and who will be next?
