He's roused from his listless existence when he discovers a dead body on top of the water tower. Security guard George Tosca isn't the only one at Flycatchers who has met his maker a bit too abruptly. There have been other suspicious deaths in the last three years, including those of military man Sir Archibald Gunter and Bertie Foster-Banks, an inveterate gambler and shareholder in the home. The arrival of a woman in black sets off a sinister chain of events, and before he knows it, Pibble is on the case. As he travels down a twisting path of blackmail and escalating violence, Pibble finds that his life is suddenly filled with purpose again. He will bring a cunning killer to justice - or die trying. But the real reason he went up to the tower on that stormy winter night is linked to a secret he'll carry to his grave. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; Crime; ISBN: 0099515601.
