Sub-category: Detective/mystery
The plot: A bypass is
proposed through Framhurst Great Woods in Kingsmarkham.
With the intial clearing of nettles to move some badgers,
a body is found. Kingsmarkham police know who the body
is. Detective Inspector Wexford is uncertain as to who
the killer is, but his partner, Inspector Burden, knows
who the killer is. As the two embark upon getting the
proof, 5 people suddenly disappear, including Wexfords
wife. There seems to be a connection between the killer
and missing 5 people, and the environmentalists protesting
the development of the bypass at Framhurst Great Woods.
The Kingsmarkham police, led by Wexford, begin investigating
as time runs out for the kidnap victims...
Comment: A nice little
read. Slightly misleading title but an enjoyable mystery.
