Bernard Knight Synopsis: In The Lately Deceased by Bernard Knight (book 1 of the Sixties Mysteries series), when the wealthy Margaret Walker is found dead after a wild party, people assume it was an overdose – until a knife wound, almost invisible, is noticed on her body. But who would have wanted her dead? As the investigation progresses, it is discovered that some of the party guests may have wanted to kill Margaret… but were those motives enough to make someone a murderer – or was it a case of mistaken identity? The novel was written as Bernard Picton.
