This is the first book in The Richard Jury Series: Inspector Richard Jury and Melrose Plant uncover dark secrets from the past when they investigate a series of murders in the quaint village of Long Piddleton.




"Long Piddleton had always been wary of newcomers, but the quiet town was stunned when the first stranger was found dead, upended in a butt of ale in the cellar of The Man with a Load of Mischief. Then the second body appeared, swinging in place of the mechanical man above the door of the Jack and Hammer.

"Suddenly Long Piddleton had good reason to be wary of everyone! Its cozy pubs and inns with their polished pewter and blazing hearths had become scenes of the most bizarre crimes. Who were the victims? And who was the murderer? A maniac? A stranger? Or the disarmingly friendly man next door?" -- from the back cover of the paperback reissue edition, 1991
