While Inspector Mosley is away, a series of bizarre events, including the disappearance of Janie Godwin, an eccentric old woman, plagues the peaceful village of Hempshaw End, and Detective-Superintendent Grimshaw and Sergeant Beamish are at their wit's end
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Inspector Mosley of Hempshaw End has just begun his annual leave when Superintendent Grimshaw gets some unsettling news from the village. A gallows is advertised for sale; an eccentric elderly woman is missing. Mosley is reported in the vicinity but is not available, and Grimshaw sends Sergeant Beamish to bring the inspector in. Next, a young woman and a little girl disappear. Other gallows turn upnot all of them for sale. Mosley leads Beamish in a game of hare and hound, while the older villagers act even more strangely than usual. Longstanding, class-related debts are settled in this third Mosley adventure (Murder, Mr. Mosley; Mosley by Moonlight). While the inspector himself is absent most of the time, the intriguing quirkiness of Greenwood's other characters more than compensates. February 17
