The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine

Anty Boisjoly is back to fill the gap that overlaps between Ruth Rendell and PG Wodehouse, and where Jerome K Jerome meets Dorothy L Sayers.

The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine is another mystifying, manor house stumper for Wodehousian bon-vivant and problem-solver Anty Boisjoly, when his clubmate asks him to determine who died first after a duel is fought in a locked room. The untold riches of the Tenpenny Tontine are in the balance, but the stakes only get higher when Anty determines that, duel or not, this was a case of murder.
