Summary
The 1910 Haxford Spring Fair turns deadly when a balloonist plummets to the earth. Unraveling this web of intrigue will require the skills of Haxford's brilliant Chief Inspector Pignon Scorbion. Faustin Hardcastle from the Gazette is determined to ruin the town's new officer of the law with slanderous news reports of failure and misconduct. And other residents of the picture-perfect village do not welcome the inspector's inquiring eye and expert nose for trouble. When they engage in decidedly un-quaint activities like gambling, revenge, forgery, and loan sharking, it falls to Pignon Scorbion to reveal their deceit and criminal misdeeds-- all in a good day's work. -- adapted from jacket
