The Old Wine Shades (Richard Jury Mysteries) Book
The latest in New York Times bestselling author Martha Grimes?s Richard Jury mystery series "The dog came back." "This is a joke, right?" "No, it isn?t. . . . So do you want to hear the rest of it?"

Over three successive nights Harry spins this complicated story about a good friend of his whose wife and son (and dog) disappeared one day as they were viewing property in Surrey. They?ve been missing for nine months?no trace, no clue, no lead as to what happened.

Until they find the body.Read More
