The latest and stylish mystery featuring Sister Agnes, one of fiction's most refreshing detectives. Matthias Kavanagh was always lucky. Until he was killed in an unlucky accident.

And of the same accident befalling someone else, weeks earlier? When does coincidence become meaningful? And accident murder?
