Even after surgery, Scotland Yard detective sergeant Jack Gibbons can't remember how he got shot. While his colleagues dig into his personal life, his best friend Philip Bethancourt focuses on his last case, a robbery of antique jewelry. Although Philip is a man of leisure, he makes a point of tagging along on Jack's more interesting cases. But this time is different: retracing his steps may put Philip in the same line of fire.Written in the tradition of Dorothy L, Sayers and with a fresh voice all her own, Cassandra Chan's third outing is sure to satisfy mystery fans.

Praise for "Village Affairs""Gibbons and Bethancourt's second adventure is another enjoyably lighthearted look at murder among the upper classes."--"Kirkus Reviews""Bethancourt is a charming character. . . . A well-developed plot, intriguing and likable characters, solid investigating techniques, and an excellent sense of place distinguish this second in a series."--"Booklist"Praise for "The Young Widow""Chan's sprightly debut, a contemporary homage to Dorothy L. Sayers's classic Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, introduces an appealing pair of sleuths. English mystery devotees should look forward to their further adventures."--"Publishers Weekly""The author tells a tale that is part crime story, part family drama, part buddy flick, and part love story---a combination that makes for enjoyable reading."--"School Library Journal"
Cassandra Chan has published two novels, most recently "Village Affairs," and several short stories featuring Gibbons and Bethancourt. She lives in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
