The best man to die:
Jack Pertwee was getting married in the morning, and his best friend Charlie Hatton drove his lorry down from Leeds to be there. A few hours later Charlie was found dead after he and Jack had gone for a late-night stroll. For Detective Chief Inspector Wexford it was to become a murder investigation fraught with coincidences...
An Unkindness of Ravens:
Detective Chief Inspector Wexford thought he was doing a neighbourly good deed when he agreed to talk to Joy Williams about her missing husband. He certainly didn't expect to be investigating a most unusual homicide...
The Veiled One:
The women's body lay in the subterranean car park between a silver Excort and a dark-blue Lancia. Concealed by a shroud of dirty brown velvet, it looked like a heap of rags. It was Inspector Burden who called Wexford at home that evening with the grim news that the victim had been brutally strangled.
