A clever murder mystery featuring recurring character Superintendent Battle that pokes light-hearted fun at the international spy thriller genre--soon to be a major Netflix series

Gerry Wade is famous for over-sleeping, but when a group of his fellow young guests at a country house weekend decide to play a prank on him by setting eight alarm clocks to go off in his room early one morning, they are rewarded with a nasty surprise. This time, poor Gerry is quite literally dead to the world. As the police descend upon Chimneys, the historic estate of Lord Caterham, the youthful friends-led by the bold and clever Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent-take investigative matters into their own hands. As more victims turn up dead and clues seem to point to a wider plot, Bundle and her pals risk their lives to find the murderer before he kills again.
