A Killing Kindness

Altes englisches TB in entsprechendem Zustand, nur vorsichtig gelesen - rundum vergilbt bzw. nachgedunkelt, aufgebogen, bestoßen, Knicke und kleine Spuren, etwas schiefgelesen, leichter Leseknick im Buchrücken, vorn Spuren eines wegradierten kleinen Eintrags.

When Mary Dinwoodie is found choked in a ditch following a night out with her boyfriend, a mysterious caller phones the local paper with a quotation from Hamlet. The career of the Yorkshire Choker is underway.
If Superintendent Dalziel is unimpressed by the literary phone calls, he is downright angry when Sergeant Wield calls in a clairvoyant.
Linguists, psychiatrists, mediums - it's all a load of nonsense as far as he is concerned, designed to make a fool of him.
And meanwhile the Choker strikes again - and again...
