The Reluctant Investigator.

FRANK LEAN

Publication: Heinemann, (1997), London

First edition. Fine in dust jacket. A carpenter looking for a way to cut corners, finds a locked cupboard where a collection of severed heads are stored. Apparently Billy Fox has disposed of fourteen women, and with this gruesome evidence, it's an open and shut case. But nothing is as it seems because somebody is adding to Billy's total. Is it a new killer? Or have the police got the wrong man? 1997 CWA Dagger Award nominee.
