The Sirens Sang of Murder -- Sarah Caudwell, Paperback

A lawyer's lucrative case has deadly consequences in the third installment of the Hilary Tamar mysteries that began with Thus Was Adonis Murdered

"Sarah Caudwell is one of my very favorite mystery writers."--A. J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

Young barrister Michael Cantrip has skipped off to the Channel Islands to take on a tax-law case that's worth a fortune--if Cantrip's tax-planning cronies can locate the missing heir. But Cantrip has waded in way over his head. Strange things are happening on these mysterious, isolated isles. Something is going bump in the night--and bumping off members of the legal team, one by one.

Soon Cantrip is messaging the gang at the home office for help. And it's up to amateur investigator Hilary Tamar, Oxford don turned supersleuth, to get Cantrip back to the safety of his chambers--alive!

About the Author
Sarah Caudwell, the pipe-smoking author of Thus Was Adonis Murdered and three other novels featuring Oxford Don Hilary Tamar, died in 2000. "Hilary's voice was in my head before any of the plots," Caudwell told writer Martin Edwards in an interview for Mystery Scene. "I knew from the outset Hilary must be an Oxford don--but of equivocal sex and even equivocal age, resembling that precise, donnish kind of individual who starts being elderly at the age of twenty-two."
