The exciting new cosy mystery featuring the former head of MI6’s Q Branch, Major Boothroyd, from the James Bond universe.

Dismissed from MI6’s Q Branch, where he developed weapons and field technology, Major Boothroyd (aka ‘Q’) has found a new lease of life as an amateur detective in his sleepy hometown of Wickstone-on-Water.

Fresh from successfully solving the murder of his childhood friend, Q is now hired by the police to re-examine the unsolved killing of Lawrence Noble, a tech millionaire turned online antique dealer.

Why was Noble tortured before his death? What is the significance of the circular golden object inscribed with mysterious runes found by his body?

As Q investigates, danger stalks those around him, and he soon finds himself dragged into a chilling conspiracy where past and present meet in a way he could not possibly have imagined . . .
