Summary

For Mrs Pargeter, it is a matter of principle that she should complete her late husband's unfinished business. Amongst the many bequests he made to her, perhaps the most valuable is his little black book, in which he listed all the people who ever worked for him, with details of their particular skill sets. This means that whenever she has a crime to solve she can readily contact someone with the relevant expertise to help in her enquiries. Attending the funeral of the rich and respected Sir Normington Winthrop, one of the names in the book, she sets out to discover the connection between Sir Winthrop and her late husband, only to find herself drawn into a shady world of gun-runners, shifty politicians - and a kidnapped vicar.
