The trip to Tilsey was meant to be a holiday for Detective Inspector Littlejohn.

But the DI soon finds himself caught up in a network of family intrigue involving hate, deception and murder.

In 'Crime in Leper's Hollow', DI Littlejohn must unravel the mysteries of the Crake family.

Starting with the death of Nicholas Crake, the affairs connected to the family seat, Beyle House, make for a gripping tale, one which George Bellairs tells with humour and suspense.
