Spence In Petal Park

Product Description

Can a case be solved in just three days?

Roger Parnell is a rich, good-looking young man, living in the plushest suburb of a South Coast resort.

When he is found dead in his driveway three days before Christmas, Detective Superintendent Spence immediately gets to work. Spence believes in method, groundwork, & a proper filing system. In a mobile police unit near the scene of the crime, the investigation is soon under way.

& there's plenty to investigate.

Parnell's life-style included sharp business practices, an unhealthy interest in the girls at the expensive school behind his house, blackmail & seduction.

Interviewing Parnell's neighbours, associates & lovers, Spence soon concludes that plenty of people had cause to hate him. But which of the apparently sensible, ordinary people behind the privet hedges of exclusive Petal Park actually killed him?

Spence in Petal Park weaves the stories of the people in Parnell's life into a complex web of cause & effect, which Spence's careful work finally unravels — just before Christmas.

Ideal for anyone who enjoys crime novels.
