Detective Chief Superintendent Tom Pollard of New Scotland yard is given the case. Recently home from a vacation in the area, he is once again there.
Getting solid clues and straight answers isn’t easy, as the site is adjacent to property owned by a man who insists on being left alone. He is uncooperative and evasive. The police and locals think the skeleton is a prank by students.
The site is a section of vacant land with an historical background. The historical society has fought to keep it open to the public, while the neighbouring property owner makes it difficult for them.
As Pollard investigates, he has to navigate the conflict between the two parties and also get straight answers. He has the impression that people aren’t willing to tell all that they know. Is this a singular murder or are there more in the offing.
Written in the classic British style, it is an enjoyable read. ( )
