Mclean to the Dark Tower Came

'A clever and absorbing read.' - READING PANEL A young man is offered the loan of a country cottage in Dorset to write his first novel, but his peace is most rudely interrupted when his aged benefactor is found murdered. Inspector McLean, who takes over the case from the local Constabulary, is deeply puzzled. What is the meaning of the cryptic anonymous message left at the house? Why is the murdered man's daughter ready to commit perjury rather than tell the truth about her past? Who, in fact, poisoned the old man in the middle of the night?
