Murder on a summer's day
(Book)

"When the India Office seeks help in finding Maharajah Narayan, last seen hunting on the Bolton Abbey estate, it calls upon the expertise of renowned amateur detective Kate Shackleton. But soon a missing person's case turns into murder. Narayan has been shot through the heart, and it's clear to Kate that his body has not been in the woods overnight. Who brought it there, and from where? And what has happened to the hugely valuable diamond that was in the Maharajah's possession? As Kate digs deeper, she soon discovers that vengeance takes many forms. Was the Maharajah's sacrilegious act of shooting a white doe to blame? Or are growing rumours of a political motive too powerful for Kate to discount? One thing Kate is sure of: her own skills and insights. Qualities that she is sure will help her unravel the mysterious murder on that fateful summer's day" -- P.[4] of cover.
