      About This Book

      One hot summer afternoon Nigel Swannell is distracted from his regular afternoon stroll by a swarm of flies over a thick undergrowth of gorse. Further investigation leads him to a shocking discovery: a headless, handless corpse has been dumped in the middle of the bush.
      Detective Chief Inspector Hennessey and Sergeant Yellich are soon on the case. A mysterious silver Mercedes has been seen in the area and the victim's family turns out to have been in line for a considerable inheritance from his acid-tongued, colonially minded and exceptionally wealthy mother, Mrs Tansey. As the investigation progresses it appears that the victim's estranged wife, his business partner and his disapproving mother all have their own secrets to hide.
