[Rutherford 01] • A Reputation Dies

It was a splendid soiree to start the new social season. The creme de la creme

were eyeing new frocks, new romances, and most certainly, the new bride of

Lord Velmond, last season's most hotly coveted bachelor. Mr Marmaduke Yarnton,

ton tattler and scandalmonger, had been invited to provide amusement. But his

tongue wagged once too often. By the end of the ball he was found slain in the

cloakroom - and all evidence pointed to the newly wed lord.

But good friends of the Velmonds will offer to clear their good name. Justin

Rutherford will dare danger to find the real criminal. And his pert,

devilishly witty niece Anthea will volunteer her own special talents to find

the true villain - as well as her heart's most fervent desire, true love.
