Missing - Presumed Alive: A Whitecross Yard Murder

by Dennis Talbot

It's 1936 in the UK. A car crash leaves an unidentified body, later claimed by the local Member of Parliament to be that of his missing wife. A tragic accident, or so it seems, until she is recognised by a reliable witness several days later in a town ten miles away. If she is alive, which he denies, then who does the body belong to, and why is the MP adamant that it is his wife. DC Will Dexter and the rest of DI Brierly's CID team are faced with a crime that goes back 25 years, a crime that requires at least one murder and a dozen twists and turns, including a dead miner and some pink bed-linen, before the real reason behind it all comes to light.
