Synopsis
On a sultry summer night in 1994, Nathaniel and Katherine Gye are guests at a Civil War fancy-dress party. The theme of the occasion is apt because Tripletree, the Jacobean manor house in the heart of the Cotswolds where the event is being held, is steeped in history and enjoys a colorful past. But at the end of a glittering evening tragedy strikes, and the body of a woman is dragged from the lake.
This is merely the first of a catalog of misadventure that befalls the introverted rural community, dominated by a legacy of witchcraft and feuds. As he tries to unravel the truth, Nathaniel Gye, a parapsychic investigator, finds himself drawn back to the 17th century and the time when the hill above Tripletree manor was the place where the gallows once stood.

From Publishers Weekly
Nathaniel Gye, "lecturer in Paranormal Psychology at the University of Cambridge," makes an intriguing debut in British author Wilson's new mystery series. When Gye and his journalist wife, Kathryn, attend a fancy-dress party at Coln Manor in the Cotswolds hosted by Sheldon and Juniper Myles, the seemingly accidental death of a local woman, who was dressed as Nell Gwyn, spoils the festivities. Five weeks later, Sheldon seeks out Gye and begs him to help his wife, who's convinced she murdered the dead woman. Inexorably, Gye is drawn into a snarled skein comprising a troubled marriage, a powerful family, a modern witch and a village united in its scorn for Sheldon Myles. The ancient and troubled history of Coln Manor and how it got the ominous name of Tripletree ("an old word for gallows") plays a part, as does the past of its present owner. Despite his billing as a "parapsychic investigator" in the book's promotional copy, Gye uses traditional investigative methods to ferret out the truth. Murders, older and newer, cleverly committed and concealed, are convincingly revealed. Wilson has set the stage nicely for repeat performances by his husband-and-wife sleuthing team.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. "Dr. Gye, Cambridge lecturer in paranormal psychology and minor TV personality, reluctantly agrees to investigate the death at Tripletree House. To his frustration, he finds himself drawn into an introverted rural community dominated by witchcraft, feuds, and passionate hatreds whose roots run deep into the past. He must face considerable personal danger to unravel the tightly knotted strands of deliberate evil - murder, mind-manipulation, blackmail, and supernatural haunting. And amid all the sinister personalities in the village the most oppressive presence is Tripletree itself. The house, too, will have to be purged before the truth can be revealed and justice done."--BOOK JACKET. Mylar protector included.
