Product Description
Synopsis
With the help of Paco Ruiz - a former policeman, living in disgrace since the Spanish Civil War - Woodend embarks on an unofficial investigation which provides more questions than answers. Why was the dead man travelling under a false passport? Who are the men he was seen to associate with, but now deny all knowledge of him? Why does the local police chief seem determined to lead him up a blind alley? And, who is responsible for the three more deaths which quickly follow on from the first? It soon becomes plain to Woodend that the roots of the case stretch back thirty years - and that if he is ever to solve it, he must confront history itself.

The biter bit........ well nearly!
So far as I know "The Butcher beyond" is the only DCI Woodend novel not set in the United Kingdom. It begins with the Chief Inspector taking his wife Joan for a rest cure to Spain. It is also the first Woodend novel where Joan Woodend occupies more than a walk on part.
A well crafted plot with many twists ands turns keeps you guessing for at least two hundred of the 232 pages, such is the construction of the novel that when the murderer is finally revealed you have some difficulty in deciding whether it is the victim or the murderer you despise the most.
As is usual with Sally Spencer's books, an enjoyable read with much local colour.
