Little Victim

A dream holiday on the south-west coast of India as guests of uncrowned king of Goa, Roman Songhera; a lush resort, amid exotic terraced gardens with cocktails on call and 38 varieties of ice-cream. Antonia Darcy and Hugh Payne never imagined they would encounter anything worse than excess - but an uninvited guest at the garden party embroils them in a mysterious murder involving English landed gentry, local mafia and a high-class call girl. It's all very far from the relaxing break they envisaged.
