SPARROWHAWK –The Accidental Death of a Dead Man :
Northumbrian police master sleuth, Detective Inspector Sparrowhawk, is tasked with finding out the detail of a ‘death by misadventure’ case. His sidekick, Sergeant Calvin Whitstable, is spending more time in the ‘pub’ than is good for him and looks to have missed a trick or two. But Sparrowhawk’s boss, DCI Hoppingdon wants to know what there is to investigate? Did a carefully planned and perfectly executed murder take place, or was the victim’s death the result of a clear-cut car accident. One theory required a mountain of irrefutable evidence and the other a simple autopsy report.
‘Too much speculation and not enough hard evidence …’ was how Hoppingdon put it, offering his chain smoking Inspector just twenty four more hours to put the case to bed …or put it in the bin. A good bit of extra luck might be required to add some badly needed momentum.
