Chief Inspector Wexford, 24

an Inspector Wexford novel

Sarah Hussein was not popular with many people in the community of Kingsmarkham. She was also the Reverend of St Peter's church. But it came as a profound shock to everyone when she was found strangled in the vicarage. A garrulous cleaner, Maxine, also shared by the Wexfords, discovers the body. In his retirement, the former Detective Chief Inspector is devoting much time to reading. He has little patience with Maxine's prattle. But when his old friend Mike Burden asks if he might like to assist on this case, Wexford is obliged to pay more precise attention to all available information. For all his experience and sophistication, Burden tends to jump to conclusions. But he is wise enough to listen to the man whose office he inherited, and whose experience makes him a formidable ally
