A Subtle Revenge

Description

When the Chief Executive of the North Pennine Health Scheme is found dead, hanged by the rope of his stable bell, it is generally regarded as the suicide of a guilty man. One million pounds, missing from the health scheme’s funds, was apparently withdrawn from the scheme’s account by its Chief Executive… and then disappeared. But Police Sergeant Edward Decker thinks otherwise, Maxwell Bull, the late unlamented Chief Executive, was not the kind of man to kill himself. For a start he was much too arrogant and vain. The problem for Edward Decker is that Bull had so many enemies that it is difficult to know where to start. And the final solution is far removed from the one the policeman expected.
