Wycliffe and Death in Stanley Street - Softcover
"Plenty of Grip" - THE OBSERVER "Immensely likeable and believable" - YORKSHIRE POST The murder of a prostitute in the dubious cul-de-sac of a West Country port is just another routine sex crime to Inspector Gill. However, when Superintendent Wycliffe investigates the girl's past, he finds that Lily Painter had several 'O' and 'A' levels to her name, and liked Beethoven - not the usual sort of prostitute at all. He digs deeper, and finds plenty of surprises, starting with her parents, and a shadowy connection with property speculators and drug smugglers. A second murder and a dangerous arson attack take place before Wycliffe is able to discover the solution to the complex puzzle.
