Official synopsis Publisher
Imposter: Book Two of the Toby Whitby Mystery Series
A murdered man with no hands. Is he a traitor or a hero?
England, 1952: A body washes up on the beach of a seaside town in the south of England. Anthea Clark, Toby Whitby’s straitlaced secretary, is sure she knows the identity of the murdered man. She says he is a soldier who saved her life during the war, but how can she be so certain when the victim’s hands have been removed and there are no fingerprints? When another woman claims that Miss Clark is wrong and the man is the unfaithful father of her child, Toby assures Miss Clark that he will find the truth for her.
When a third person claims yet another identity for the man with no hands, Toby is drawn into a dangerous search that leads him from a child stolen long ago by gypsies, to a faded film star living in seclusion, to London gangsters, and on to a notorious member of the British Royal Family. It is only when he faces a final battle for survival on board a sinking ship in the North Sea that Toby finds the answer to his question. Is the dead man a decorated soldier or a deserter; a coward or a hero?
Imposter is the second enthralling mystery in the Toby Whitby series. Be prepared for dark secrets, suspicious happenings at Buckingham Palace, and a sweet touch of last-chance romance in this new tale of murder, mystery and intrigue in post-war Britain.
