Josh and Maisie Evans are firm believers in lending a helping hand to lonely old ladies. So when they are holidaying in Rimini, it isn't surprising that old Mrs Fingal should take a liking to them and that it isn't long before Mrs Fingal is installed in the Evanses' suburban home.

Born to parents who were both on the stage (her father was the actor James Dale), Celia Dale's first novel, The Least of These, was published in 1943 and she went on to write ten others. She won the Crime Writer's Association Veuve Clicquot Short Story award for Lines of Communication and A Personal Call and other stories in 1986 and worked on the Daily Express and the Sunday Express. She also worked as a book reviewer and a publisher's advisor and many of her stories have been adapted for radio and television. She lives in London.
This is a study of greed in the cosiest of settings.
