Description: Verity Browne returns from assignment in Prague with suspected tuberculosis. Lord Edward Corinth, to whom she is engaged, is naturally desperately anxious about her. The only cure for TB in 1938 is rest and a healthy diet, so he suggests she go to a private clinic in Henley-on-Thames. It is convenient for Edward as he can keep an eye on her while he investigates the murder of his dentist, whose death has a Henley connection. But as Edward's investigation comes to a thrilling climax during what many believe will be the last Henley Royal Regatta before a new European war, both he and Verity face death from someone or something wicked.
