The Sandie Shaw Mysteries: Book 9, The Sergeant, the Flapper and a Crossword

A man falls to his death in front of Sandie and Daphne. He's wearing an army cap, and in his pocket is a copy of The Tribune, open at the crossword page.

Sandie has no idea why, but she slips the newspaper into her bag before Frank and his officers reach the scene. It proves to be a wise move.

With no evidence to the contrary, his unfortunate death is written off as suicide, but Sandie is not so sure. She and the team set about unearthing the man's back-story, and bit by bit uncover a shocking tale of betrayal and dishonesty, and a second suspicious death that occurred in the same place, forty years earlier.

The clues are in the crossword, half-completed before he died. Can the team decipher a cryptic and complicated story, and grant him a posthumous kind of justice?
