Death Treads Softly (A Cozy Mystery Thriller) (Inspector Little John Series)

A Chief Inspector Little John Series

Set in the haunting and picturesque Isle of Man, Finlo Crennell, ex-harbourmaster of Castletown, has been missing for a week before he is found by the police wandering in London, suffering from loss of memory. He is escorted back to the Island by Chief Inspector Littlejohn, of Scotland Yard, but is unable to throw any light on how he came to be in London or what he has been doing. Within twenty-four hours, Crennell is found murdered - shot through the head. Littlejohn is called in to investigate not only Crennell's murder, but also that of Charles Cribbin, a bankrupt farmer, whose body is found in a desolate ruined house on the moors. This all provides the Chief Inspector with a most baffling case.
