Pantheon

About the Book

Charles Fellows, mountaineer, national hero, and first class bastard is found murdered in the sea near his sailing yacht on the Cornish coast. Evan Briscoe is dispatched by Scotland Yard to investigate and finds motives a-plenty. Fellows was disliked, if not hated by the local populace… at least by the male population. Or was the root of the crime in the "Pantheon of Heroes" of which Fellows is a revered member? Sir Tony Castlefort, the only human to climb higher than Charles Fellows, and other members of the Pantheon insist his death was misadventure. As Briscoe ventures into the Pantheon he finds the gods that dwell there have feet of clay. Only Celia Fellows, Charles' lonely and unhappy sister, maintains that her brother was murdered. To his discomfort, Briscoe finds himself attracted to this strong-minded woman. Celia discovers that all heroes do not dwell in the Pantheon… and Briscoe finds something else… something far more personal… something he thought he'd never find…
