A Foxy Reynard Detective story. When a dead woman is found sitting in a garden chair in a quiet cul-de-sac in Eastbourne with no clothes on; and the Prime Minister's wife chokes on an oyster at a Food Festival at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, nobody gives any thought to the possibility the two incidents are in any way connected. But they are ... as are some other unexplained happenings ... and it needs all the intuitive and logical skills of Detective Chief Inspector 'Foxy' Reynard of Sussex C.I.D., plus a few truths which have lain hidden in an old box for years, to work out what they are.
