Wycliffe, in Paul´s Court

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, a German émigré, is found hanging in his home; and fifteen-year-old Yvette Cole, who may or may not have lived up to her wild reputation, is discovered strangled and thrown half naked over the churchyard hedge. Chief Superintendent Wycliffe has the aid of a shrewd Sergeant Kersey, but they still find this a difficult case to crack. As Wycliffe and Kersey dig deeper, they gradually untangle a complex network of secrets in the quiet of Paul’s Court.
