The Case of the DeMented Spiv - George Bellairs - Bog

Bag om The Case of the DeMented Spiv

When a petty hoodlum encounters murder most foul, Inspector Littlejohn must uncover the dark secrets of a sleepy English village in this classic mystery.It's a quiet night at the Oddfellow's Arms until a stranger walks in. He looks like your average, untrustworthy, street corner spiv. But when he starts ranting to anyone who will listen about a dead body at Fennings' Mill, he seems more like a raving lunatic. When local police investigate the mad-man's tale, they find a grimly peculiar corpse: the face is smeared with theatrical makeup and a false mustache is pasted neatly over the lip. Once reporters descend on the tiny village, Scotland Yard sends Inspector Littlejohn to assist the investigation. But he quickly discovers that more than a few residents are telling lies, and the victim's costume conceals a truly perplexing case.
