A fun, new detective novel by Kel Richards where the sleuth is C.S. Lewis, the beloved author of The Chronicles of Narnia. C. S. Lewis (known to all his friends as 'Jack'), his brother Major Warren Lewis (known as 'Warnie') and one of Jack's students, Tom Morris, are on holiday in the English countryside.When they go to the bank they unwittingly enter a crime scene - a murder has just been committed in the vault. The three out-of-towners become suspects and must conduct their own investigation to clear their names. A tale that twists and turns in the tradition of the golden age of English murder mysteries like Agatha Christie. Add Kel's trademark humour and it's an entertaining baffler!

Richards currently presents ABC NewsRadio's weekend afternoons, which includes regular Wordwatch segments. Wordwatch is a feature introduced by Richards. Initially developed as a "filler" program for the radio programs to allow time for changes of people or locations, it tapped into an interest by the listening public and several books have been produced based on the show's research.
