Description
The body count is rising…
Detective-Inspector Jones could discover no motive for the suspicious death of the young man who worked in Chalingford’s Planning Office.
Like others, he could speculate about what went on, but despite his best efforts he was no closer to solving the case.
Driven by ambition, Robert Howick – headmaster of Trelawne School – inwardly quakes at the fear that certain dark and damning secrets could, if known, entirely destroy his hopes for the future.
But with the power to hire and fire his staff the way he sees fit, he believed he was unassailable
However, when a body flies off the roof of Civic Hall, Detective-Inspector Jones is drawn into the tangled world of Trelawne School and its complicated inhabitants
Jones suspects that there is more going on at the school than first meets the eye and when a second body turns up, his thoughts are all but confirmed.
Jones is certain that the mysterious events are linked with the crooked dealings at Chalingford’s Planning Office.
He just doesn’t know how to prove it.
When Jones gets called out to the third crime scene, this one on the grounds of Trelawne School itself, and things finally begin to fall into place…
A Killing Term is a fast-paced murder mystery novel by a master of the genre.
