Eight years after they overthrew Churchill and led Britain into a separate peace with Hitler, the upper-crust families of the Farthing set' are gathered for a weekend retreat. Then the country-house idyll is interrupted: the eminent Sir James Thirkie is found murdered, with a yellow Star of David pinned to his chest. Farthing scion Lucy Kahn realises that her Jewish husband is about to be framed for the crime. However, the principal investigator from Scotland Yard, Peter Carmichael, discerns that in addition to anti-Semitism, the homosexuality of some of the key figures plays a major role in the crime. This fascinating blend of murder mystery and alternate reality is a thriller with wit and verve.
