May 1939. A black-tie civic awards ceremony promises a dull evening for Amy Rowlings and Inspector Bodkin – until the ‘Businessman of the Year’, called away to answer the telephone, is found stabbed to death.

The victim’s lucrative new armaments factory contract means half the town’s elite had a motive to kill him. When a sudden manpower shortage leaves an overstretched Bodkin to handle the investigation entirely alone, amateur sleuth Amy steps into the breach.

Armed with her sharp mind and borrowed investigative techniques of her fictional hero, Hercule Poirot, Amy must help Bodkin navigate a web of wartime corruption and lies to bring a brutal killer to justice.

Betrayal in Black Tie is the third in the cozy, historical Amy Rowlings Golden Age Mysteries series, which can be read in any order. For fans of Verity Bright, Helena Dixon, and Felicity Penn.
