Small hostilities were growing; vague jealousies were gaining strength; and far off,wasn't there a nebulous hint of approaching tragedy in the air'Welworth Garden City in the 1940s is a forward-thinking town where free spirits find a home - vegetarians,socialists,and an array of exotic religious groups. 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. This witty crime novel by a writer on top form is a neglected classic of British crime fiction.
