Chief among these are the Children of Osiris, led by the eccentric High Prophet, Eustace K. Mildmann. The cult is a seething hotbed of petty resentment, jealousy and dark secrets―which eventually lead to murder. The stage is set for one of Inspector Meredith's most bizarre and exacting cases.\nThis witty crime novel by a writer on top form is a neglected classic of British crime fiction.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1464209022\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1464209022.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bude, John|Edwards, Martin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
