In a quiet English village, a killer is about to strike.
Again and again. Luke Fitzwilliam found it hard to credit Miss Pinkerton's wild allegation that a multiple murderer was at work in the quiet English village of Wychwood or her speculation that the local doctor was next in line. But within hours, Miss Pinkerton had been found dead.
Crushed by a passing car. Mere coincidence? Luke was inclined to think so until another victim is found dead.
