β¦ Synopsis
An Alternate Selection of the Mystery Guild The late Mr. Pargeter earned his magnificent living in somewhat dubious--some might even say criminal--ways, but when it came to Mrs. Pargeter and his duty to friends, he was a paragon of virtue. Nothing was too good for them. If they needed help, he was there. So when the widow of one of Mr. Pargeter' colleagues in crime summons her to her stately home to ask for help, Mrs. Pargeter is more than happy to carry on in her late husband's tradition. The task will not be easy. It seems Veronica Chastaigne's husband kept her in style--in a mansion surrounded by master works of art. The only problem is that they were ''borrowed'' from galleries and collectors around the world. Can Mrs. Pargeter and her late husband's associates return the paintings without getting caught? In a caper worthy of her much lamented husband, Mrs. Pargeter leads a merry chase that is so audacious that it just might work.
