The supposed culprit is the hapless Peregrine Gore - assistant to banker-sleuth Mark Treasure - but he'd rather flee than stop and sample the island's rudimentary justice system.\r\n\r\nTreasure arrives on the island with his actress-wife Molly to find it in mayhem, and volunteers to help the baffled Chief Inspector find the real villain from among a bewildering bunch of suspects. But this time he may have bitten off more than he can chew - it will be hard to prove Peregrine's innocence when he was discovered clutching the victim's severed head...\r\n\r\n*Treasure up in Smoke* is the third bombastic installment in David Williams' wonderfully witty series of murder mysteries about urbane banker and detective, Mark Treasure."}, "subject_places": ["England", "West Indies"], "lc_classifications": ["PZ4.W72254 Ts", "PR6073.I42583 Ts"], "subjects": ["Bankers", "Fiction", "Fiction in English", "Mark Treasure (Fictitious character)", "Treasure, mark (fictitious character), fiction", "Fiction, mystery & detective, general", "West indies, fiction", "England, fiction"], "latest_revision": 5, "revision": 5, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-10-24T00:36:36.861649"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2025-03-22T00:33:16.493945"}}
