The Grassleyes Mystery

This is another great novel by Edward Phillips Oppenheim, the prolific English novelist who was in his lifetime a major and successful writer of genre fiction including thrillers and spy novels, and who wrote over a 100 of them. When David Granet asks for a place to stay within a twenty-mile radius of either Nice or Cannes, he does not anticipate the trouble that he finds at the Manoir of Lady Grassleyes.

• The Lady of the manor is dead when he arrives, and the will is disputed.
• Granet gets himself drawn into an ugly dispute between the estate agent and Lady Grassleys niece.

At stake is the land, the fortune, and a mysterious wealth in botanical formulas.
