The Graveyard Position by Robert Barnard
After a twenty-year absence, Merlyn Cantelo returns to Leeds to attend his late aunt Clarissa?s funeral. Far from being welcomed back into the fold of his large and quarrelsome family, he is viewed by many with suspicion and distrust ? especially since his timely reappearance has thwarted the prospect of a tidy inheritance. However, all is more complex than it seems. The teenage Merlyn only fled his home at the vehement insistence of his sometimes clairvoyant aunt, who foresaw for him a life blighted by violence and death. Moreover, the root of this danger supposedly lies somewhere within the family? Merlyn knows that if he is to discover whether his aunt?s fears were justified, he must come to terms with his tragic past ? and delve into the murky history of the Cantelo family.
Barnard, Robert: - Robert Barnard is the award-winning author of dozens of mystery novels, many of them very funny. Barnard was a passionate fan of the performing arts, opera in particular, and his knowledge of the field, both the music and the people involved in presenting it, infuses a number of his books set in that world, such as Death and the Chaste Apprentice and Death on the High C's. Because his funny books were so gorgeously funny, Barnard has often been thought of as a specialist in wit. But the few serious mysteries he wrote, such as Out of the Blackout, are at least the equal of the funny ones.
