Miss Seeton accused! The kindly Miss Seeton? A thief? A preposterous notion - until the lovable spinster mistakes tomato ketchup for blood... and the "wounded" man she's trying to help is robbed by a pickpocket. In a flurry of confusion, Miss Seeton is accused of being the thief's accomplice! And in the hands of the London police, our unlikely jailbird uncovers a veritable nest of crime...

Serene amidst every kind of skulduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella!

Miss Seeton, accused of helping a pickpocket, stumbles into a nest of crime.

About the Author

Hamilton Crane is the pseudonym used by Sarah J. Mason when writing for the Miss Seeton series. She has also written detective fiction under her own name, but should not be confused with the Sarah Mason (no middle initial) who writes a rather different kind of book.

After half a century in Hertfordshire (if we ignore four years in Scotland and one in New Zealand), Sarah J. Mason now lives in Somerset-within easy reach of the beautiful city of Wells, and just far enough from Glastonbury to avoid the annual traffic jams.
