Bribery. Corruption. Murder.

Who said local politics were boring?

When a councillor for Toot Hansell turns up dead, Alice Martin — W.I. chair and retired RAF Wing Commander — steps in to take his place. But before DI Adams can object, the Women's Institute is poking around farmyards with dragons, farmers are disappearing, and Alice is in over her head.

Worse, the killer seems to know far too much about her — enough to turn the tables.

Murder, mayhem, and old secrets unravel in the Yorkshire Dales — dragons included.
