Crisis in a Surrey Harem

"I'm talking to a man who's had four wives and keeps a wolf." Journalist Impey Dalrymple has reservations when Jules Challenger, a notorious debt-collector uses her parlous financial state to persuade her to work for him. With her love of animals and expertise in animals' social behaviour as well as her journalistic skill, the multi-millionaire believes she will be able to discover why someone has vandalised his firm's symbol, a prized sculpture of his first wife, which he does not believe is a random attack. Does the culprit may hate his plan to use the local golf club as an organic wildlife park where he can fly his pet vulture and exercise his wolf? Or is this a personal grudge from someone he has offended through his debt collection? As the job tears into her friendships and even her own love life, Impey becomes nervous of her involvement with Jules. The disappearance of his wealthy god-mother plus the deaths of a couple of his ex wives make her fear for her own safety.
