説明
"It's easy to underestimate the eccentric, quietly spoken Inspector James Boswell Hodge Leonard, with his bicycle and his tweeds, and superiors who make the mistake of doing so soon discover that he's not too keen on toeing the Establishment line.
When the grisly corpse of a traveller is found outside the Roman bath, Leonard's orders are to clear up the mess with no fuss - bad for the tourists, don't you know - but he begins to kick over Bath's social dustbins, and out tumbles a decade of secrets and suspects, smelling to high heaven.
The rich and sadistic Montague James, controller of other people's lives; Hilary, the former porn star; Norma, the painter of controversial nudes; they all know more than they are letting on. Leonard's problem is to find the one person who knows the truth - before the rest do, and before the powers that be put the lids back on the dustbins. . ." - publisher's description from book cover.
