Book description
No evidence remained on the bodies of Alun Pitcher, a well-liked,
wealthy, careful and cautious businessman, and his family after they'd
been wrapped in brown paper and string, doused in petrol and ignited.
The fires had destroyed any evidence, or so the pathologist and the
local police believed.
Defeated, the local force asks for outside help. Following success
in solving a previous 'cold' case, Inspector Trevor Joseph and
Sergeant Peter Collins are called in. Their superiors trust them to
provide answers to the questions that have confounded the local force.
Did the murderer or murderers possess knowledge of police procedure
and criminal investigative methods that have resulted in the perfect,
unsolvable crime? Why would anyone want to kill a well-liked family
who have no known enemies? How did the murderer or murderers overcome
three grown men and a woman without anyone seeing anything, or hearing
a sound? And, most important of all, was all the evidence really destroyed?
Katherine John also
