With his wife away in Kenya, he rashly accepts an invitation from Penzance lawyer Ernest Bishop to spend a few days at the Bishops' cliff-top home. When Wycliffe arrives, the weather is bleak, the house is remote, and the welcome from the family no more than polite. Then, on Christmas Eve, a young girl goes missing after playing the part of the Virgin in the local nativity play. It's left to Wycliffe to initiate a search-but what begins as a missing person case soon turns into a major criminal investigation.

Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of classic Gollancz yellow jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 191pp. A beautiful schoolgirl goes missing from a Cornish village on the day she has told her boyfriend and sister she is pregnant. The possibility that she has been raped or murdered, or both, grows with every passing hour and Chief Superintendent Wycliffe is brought in on the case. The investigation reveals a complex network of family relationships and rivalries centred on the girl and then Wycliffe finds a body, but not the one he expects. Have there been two murders? And if so, are they connected? Wycliffe digs deeper, and soon realises that just beneath the normal, day to day surface of the community lies a web of hatred and resentment, a web he will have to untangle if he is to find the key to the mystery. W.J. Burley (1914-2002), lived near Newquay in Cornwall, and was a schoolmaster until he retired to concentrate on his writing.
