A scholarly death conceals an ingenious criminal design
Good Condition - Vintage book with noticeable cover creasing and edge wear with page tanning. This edition published 1987.
The death of a respected academic appears straightforward until Inspector C. D. Sloan encounters details that refuse to fit. A contested inheritance, scientific knowledge and the carefully managed impressions of those left behind create a puzzle in which intelligence can be as dangerous as greed. Catherine Aird blends dry humour with disciplined plotting as Sloan separates fact from eloquent misdirection and closes in on a calculated killer.
