The Body in Toppin Square

by William Shifflett

When an Army widow is found dead, signs initially point toward natural causes. However, a pool of blood and missing eye-glasses, suggest something more sinister. When a consulting detective, desperate for vindication from personal failures and professional scandal in his past, looks closer, a trail of confusing clues pushes him to the edge of his deductive abilities. Determined to repair his reputation he must juggle an obsessive love interest, and convince lead detective Peter Webb, that his suspicions are on target. But how when each new clue leads in another direction? Can he find an explanation for the conflicting information and revive his career? Has murder been committed, or is personal revenge alone driving his suspicions? Who’s responsible for the Body in Toppin Square?
