Wycliffe in Paul's Court (Wycliffe Series)
Paul's Court is a quiet corner in the heart of the city: an oasis of peace and safety - until the night when there are two violent deaths. Willy Goppel, an emigre from Germany, is found hanging from a beam in his home; and fifteen-year-old Yvette Cole, who may or may not have lived up to her wild reputation, is strangled and thrown half naked over the churchyard hedge. Chief Superintendent Wycliffe has the aid of a shrewd local sergeant, Kersey, but they still find this a difficult case to crack. Did Willy assault the girl and then hang himself? Or was his death not suicide after all? As Wycliffe and Kersey dig deeper, they gradually untangle a complex network of secrets in the quiet of Paul's Court.
