Twice Dead — John Buxton Hilton

Is prim little Susan Shires the sort of schoolgirl who would go off for a romantic tryst with one of her teachers? Is John Everard--quaintly old-fashioned and, according to his wife, in failing health--someone who would seduce a sixteen-year-old student? If not, then why have they both vanished at the same time? What begins as a missing-persons case for Inspector Kenworthy soon turns into a case of murder when a body is discovered. The clothes belong to Susan Shires ... but the body belongs to someone else!

AN INSPECTOR KENWORTHY MYSTERY
With a pipe in his hand and a trick or two up his sleeve, Inspector Kenworthy is Scotland Yard's consummate master of investigation. Big, bearish, and sometimes bullying, he makes his sergeants quake and culprits tremble--for Kenworthy's keen eye for spotting "whodunnit" lets no one get away with murder.
