A Little Mayhem. a Little MURDER... 'The old crossroads used to run by here,' Sam told Rafferty. 'Legend has it that this was the original Hanging Tree.' When Inspector Rafferty hears that a bound and hooded body has been seen hanging from a tree in Dedman Wood, he dismisses it as a schoolboy hoax. But then the witness turns out to be a respectable local magistrate, who identifies the corpse as Maurice Smith. Once accused of four child rapes, Smith's case became a cause-celebre when it was thrown out on a legal technicality, causng much ill-feeling in the community. And now Smith seems to have disappeared... Then the body turns up again in the woods. Could there be a self-appointed executioner at work, meting out his own form of justice on the legendary Hanging Tree? 'CLEVER AND BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS.'

When you add the middle-class, more moral than the Pope intellectual DS Dafyd Llewellyn to the brew the result is murder with plenty of laughs for the reader and plenty of angst for Rafferty.
