*****************************************************************************************************
Concealed by a shroud of dirty brown velvet, looking like a heap of rags,
the woman's dead body
lay between
a silver Escort
and
a dark-blue Lancia
.
In the desolate shopping centre car park,
Wexford
has been too preoccupied to notice anything out of the ordinary - only the teenage girl in
the red car
, driving past him rather too fast. It was
Burden
who called him at home with the grim news later that evening:
the woman had been attacked from behind, perhaps with a thin length of wire.
But before Wexford can delve any deeper into this curious murder, he, too, faces death...
Can Burden solve this mysterious crime without the help of his worldly Chief Inspector?
