Juno Browne 5
When Juno Browne rents a room above her antique shop to gentlemanly bookbinder, Frank Tinkler, he seems like the answer to a prayer. She desperately needs his rent. But she soon realises that Frank is a more sinister figure than he seems. At a deserted farmhouse she encounters two intruders who have been using the barn to stash drugs. One of the men later falls to his death from a viaduct, and further break-ins at the farmhouse indicate that it was not just drugs the intruders were searching for. Juno recognises one of the intruders as Frank's nephew Scott. Then Scott is also found dead.
Can Juno solve the murder and put a stop to whatever Frank is up to? She enlists the help of an old friend to help her try.
