A Moonlit Night, a Sleeping Village, and an Unaccountable Murder
In the dead of the night, a man in an evening dress is found murdered, locked in the stocks on the village green. Unfortunately for Superintendent Hannasyde, the deceased is Andrew Vereker, a man hated by nearly everyone, especially his odd and unhelpful family members. The Verekers are as eccentric as they are corrupt, and it will take all Hannasyde''s skill at detection to determine who''stelling the truth, and who is pointing him in the wrong direction. The question is: who in this family is clever enough to get away with murder?
