The matriarch of a family of fashion designers, Sophia Egerton, had just celebrated her ninetieth birthday when she is murdered. Was it, DI Joe Rafferty wondered, that one of her family had thought she had lived too long? Because rather than a locked room, this is a 'locked house' mystery with a limited cast of suspects.

 

Rafferty's family has a celebration of its own, a celebration of Rafferty's father's life and death–like Shakespeare, these events occurred on the same day, separated by seventy years. But what to buy Ma as a gift to mark the occasion? Rafferty sets out to convince his many siblings that buying from a ‘man in the pub’ is not the best idea, not least from his police career point of view. But none of them had remembered that Ma has a mind of her own...

Mary, the beautiful, younger sister of English king, Henry VIII, reluctantly agrees to marry the aged and sickly Louis XII of France. But before agreeing, she extracts Henry’s promise that she may please herself for her second marriage. Mary is deeply in love with the low-born Charles Brandon, her brother’s boon companion, and is  determined to wed Brandon should King Louis die.

 

At the French court, Mary is pursued relentlessly by her aged husband’s debauched heir, Francis. And with the death of her husband and Francis’s elevation to the French throne and absolute power, her situation becomes desperate. Unprotected, Mary is a captive prey to Francis’s lust for her.

 

Will she ever be free to go to her lost love? Because since Louis’s death, Mary has become increasingly anxious about the rumours she heard concerning her brother’s plans for her future. Does Henry intend to push her into another loveless marriage to suit himself and the State?

 

King Henry sends Charles Brandon to the French court on a diplomatic mission. Desperate, Mary persuades him to go through a secret marriage with her.

 

Then, fearfully, they await Henry’s reaction, aware that no one, not  even his much-loved younger sister, defies him with impunity.
