The copyright page confirms its true first-state status, explicitly detailing its printing and binding by MPG Books Ltd in Bodmin, Cornwall. As a late 1990s hardcover release from a house well-known for ex-library distributions and smaller print runs, finding an unread, unmarked copy is highly desirable. There are no illustrations, but the book stands as a pristine example for collectors of modern British detective fiction and the Phyllida Moon series. When friends Maggie and Carol inexplicably vanish during a seaside excursion, their husbands desperately turn to the Peter Piper Detective Agency for assistance. However, this routine missing persons case takes a grim and deadly turn when a local resident's complaint about scavenging foxes leads authorities to the grisly discovery of human remains on a wooded roundabout in the coastal town of Seaminster. Phyllida Moon, an actress-turned-private-investigator and master of disguise, is sent in to unravel the mystery. By seamlessly infiltrating the lives of the victims' friends and family, Phyllida begins to unearth long-buried secrets, eventually suspecting that Carol's daughter, Sally, knows far more about the horrific tragedy than she is letting on.
