When a retired Hollywood actor starts getting threatening letters, Janet Markham Bennett, retired teacher, and her husband, Edward Bennett, retired spy, are sent to investigate. Benjamin Everest may have quit acting, but he’s also about to embark on a whirlwind publicity tour, and Janet and Edward have to go along for the ride.
Benjamin gave up his career to settle in a country house in Yorkshire with his wife, Josephine. Now it seems as if someone wants him to go back to work, and that someone is threatening Josephine’s life if Benjamin refuses."
