The Cavalier Case

The Cavalier Case is a Jemima Shore mystery by Antonia Fraser, whose heroine is a television investigator. This time the trouble centers on a stately Elizabethan mansion owned by the Meredith family. One of them plans to turn the house into an exclusive country club, and the rest of the family strongly object.

The loudest objector is not among the living. Decimus Meredith, the ghost of a dashing seventeenth century Cavalier who was a poet, a soldier and a viscount, still haunts the house and has no wish to see it change.
