Cart Before the Hearse(1997)

Roger Ormerod

Sometimes a case comes up backwards. When Ernest Connolly said "I have killed...", he did not name the victim. So Dave Mallin and George Coe find themselves attempting to discover a body to fit the crime. Fortunately, they have a lead - a rather unusual car. Although the victim is soon discovered, it is not at all certain where the blame really lies. And neither George nor Dave is quite certain, until the end, exactly whose murder they are investigating.
