Synopsis

They were two young women, strikingly similar in life...strikingly similar in death. Both strangled with their own scarves one in Devon, one outside of a fashionable Mayfair pub called I Am the Only Running Footman. Richard Jury teams up with Devon’s irascible local divisional commander, Brian Macalvie, to solve the murders. With nothing to tie the women together but the fatal scarves, Jury pursues his only suspect...and a trail of tragedy that just might lead to yet another victim. And her killer...
