A Body to Spare
Maurice Procter
Classic police procedural by a 'born storyteller' (Sunday Times), who combined natural flair with his experience in the police to truly authentic effect.
There
was an extra body in the morgue - a body stripped of all identification
and with its face badly battered. But when Inspector Martineau was
called to the scene he had a pretty good idea whose it was.
That
was, however, just the beginning. A big payroll robbery, a group of
out-of-town mobsters and some odd behaviour in a local night spot all
attract Inspector Martineau's attention. While, at a funeral parlour,
the quick are considerably more active and dangerous a problem than the
dead.
