The Case of the Demented Spiv (An Inspector Littlejohn Mystery)

â€˜Iâ€™m a spivâ€¦ But whatever Iâ€™ve done, I never killed anybody. I didnâ€™t do itâ€¦ I swear I didnâ€™tâ€™

Itâ€™s a rainy, uneventful evening in the Oddfellowsâ€™ Arms until a greasy-looking spiv bursts into the pub, clearly unstable, and ranting about a body in Fenningsâ€™ Mill.

The police investigate the mad-manâ€™s tale, and stumble upon a body, the face smeared with theatrical make-up and a false moustache pasted neatly over the lip. Once the national news descends, Inspector Faddiman calls in Inspector Littlejohn to help him uncover the dark, hidden secrets in this quiet, provincial town. Soon it becomes clear that a lot of people canâ€™t, and wonâ€™t tell the truthâ€¦ Again the author of The Case of the Famished Parson supplies his many fans with all the ingredients for a session of pleasure and puzzlement.
