Overview: “No cause of death visible, except the chap’s head being off. But that’s enough for most of us, what? Ha! Ha!”
When the Parish Council of Bishop’s Pecheford decide that something must be done about the sorry state of the local churchyard, little do they know that this will be the starting point for a mystery that will rock the community to its core. Engaged in the apparently straightforward task of levelling the mound on top of Sarah Mant’s grave, the sexton, Mr. Barlow, discovers a headless body buried only inches below the ground. Who could the man have been? Who killed him? And why remove the head?
After the Scotland Yard detective is called off the case, it is up to the Rector and the Parish secretary, Commander Blundell to clear up the matter as discreetly as possible – before the killer strikes again…
Originally published in 1935, this is a vintage murder mystery from the golden age of crime fiction.
