Book and wrapper still in a good condition even though it belonged to a library before - Very scarce. >>> In a small town in Maine, the residents are reeling from the recent murders of a family. The police are stumped and the community is on edge. Then, another family is killed, and the police are sure they have the killer. But they're not sure who to arrest. In the meantime, the murders keep happening. Can the police solve the mystery before the killer strikes again ? >>> Constable Parker is just winding up a peaceful shift at two a.m. on the Yorkshire moors when a riderless horse crashes out of the dark. The horse's owner, Anthea Cossitter, turns up dead with a knife through her ribs. The next day a helicopter is bombed out of the sky over Lessford, the district capital, and suddenly the local bobbies have more than they can handle. Not the least of their problems is the intrusion into their midst of a couple of flashy heroes from Scotland Yard. Then Whitehall clamps down on the investigation, leaving the local cops biting their nails: the Government is the other enemy, they learn. Wainwright's clean prose, sympathetic characterizations (especially of the policemen) and devious plotting make his latest police procedural (after The Tenth Interview) a real pleasure.
