A hit-and-run driver ends the life of Lou Langley, octogenarian millionaire and lawn freak, as he is mowing the verge beside his luxurious beachfront home in Dunehampton, New York. With $150 million at stake and several potential beneficiaries, the local police suspect foul play. But a routine murder investigation is deemed inappropriate: The Langley case requires tact, cunning, and perfect manners. An appeal is made to Scotland Yard to dispatch a policeman to work undercover at Ahoy, the Langley family's palatial summer residence. Enter Sydney Jarvis - a.k.a. Chief Inspector Henry Peckover, Bard of the Yard; not, perhaps, the most obvious candidate for the job of butler to the idle rich. While Jarvis is thrown headlong into his new duties, pouring drinks, serving dinner, and perfecting a suitable accent, the killer is choosing another victim. The discovery of a second corpse is soon followed by the disappearance of two key suspects - the family's Dutch cook, Joop, and Ahoy's caretaker, Timothy Thwaite. With the household descending rapidly into chaos, Peckover sends for urgent undercover assistance. But the arrival of Detective Constable Jason Twitty coincides with hurricane season in Dunehampton, and as Peckover prepares to confront the killer, Hurricane Doris prepares to strike.

Barely recovered from their death-defying adventures in Kill the Butler! (SMP, 1993), Detective Chief Inspector Henry Peckover, Bard of the Yard, and Detective Constable Jason Twitty are sent on undercover duty again. A spate of art thefts across Europe - in France, Switzerland, and Italy - has implicated the Sealeigh Choral Society. For the disappearance of each of the artifacts has coincided with a concert given by the choir. And the Sealeigh Choral Society is about to go on the road again... But before Peckover and Twitty can pack their bags for a whistle-stop tour of Ghent, Gap, Bra, and Andorra, a demanding schedule of rehearsals must be endured. And while the choir's newest recruits struggle to acquaint themselves with possible suspects - and train voices more used to singing Motown than Mozart - someone in the quiet coastal town of Sealeigh makes careful plans to hide a collection of priceless treasure. By the time the choir arrives in Ghent for the first concert of the tour, Peckover is still far from solving the case. Anxious to protect his true identity, precious time has been wasted listening patiently to the problems of nervous sopranosnot to mention the anti-Channel Tunnel rantings of Sealeigh's mayor. Peckover has, however, uncovered some tantalizing information about several choir members who are not quite the law-abiding citizens they pretend to be. Then the stakes are upped dramatically when one of their number is found dead in Ghent's magnificent cathedral - and the evidence points incontrovertibly to murder....

Peckover Joins the Choir

Inspector Henry Peckover has cheerfully accompanied his wife Miriam to Inverballoch and the 170th Robbie Burns celebration in this wee corner of the Scottish Highlands. Little does he know what he's gotten himself into... Sir Gilbert Potter, Britain's most eminent archaeologist, has invited Miriam Peckover to be guest chef, and Henry predicts a night of wine, women, and song. At first, all goes smoothly. Miriam's haggis is delicious, the Scotch flows freely, and Peckover even manages to understand some of Burns' poetry before going to bed a contented man. But his slumbers are rudely interrupted by the news that Sir Gilbert Potter has been murdered. Granted Potter was a pompous bore, but who could have wanted him dead? Might the killing be connected with the dig Sir Gilbert was leading up at Dundrummy Castle?
