When someone takes a pot shot at a politician on board the Aurelia, Patricia has no sense of the mayhem heading her way.
The assassin missed their target, hitting an innocent bystander instead, but jumping into the investigation with both feet, Patricia and friends soon question if things are what they seem to be.
The politician is none other than the beleaguered Prime Minister of European state, Molovia, a man who insists the attempted assassination came at the hands of his opposition leader. It is an election year and what better way to clear the route to power than removing the person in your way?
If that is true, more attempts can be expected. Of course, a politician in danger isn't her only concern. There are bounty hunters on board searching for a convict on the run and someone has been stealing the cleaning crews' lunches.
It all adds up to a busy time for our favourite English sleuth, but when she uncovers the lies will she be the one in the assassin's crosshairs?

At school, the author was mostly disinterested in every subject except creative writing, for which, at age ten, he won his first award. However, calling it his first award suggests that there have been more, which there have not. Accolades may come but, in the meantime, he is having a ball writing mystery stories and crime thrillers and claims to have more than a hundred books forming an unruly queue in his head as they clamour to get out. He lives in the south-east corner of England with a duo of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he will ever leave, the beer is just too good.
