Product Description
Synopsis
Mervyn Davies left Wales in disgrace 40 years ago, but now he's back to collect a vast inheritance left to him by his friend Edwin. Edwin's relatives are the ones with the most obvious motive when Mervyn's severed head is found in a Tesco bag and other bits of him appear elsewhere.
From the Back Cover
Mervyn Davies left South Wales under a cloud forty years ago, but now he's back to collect a vast inheritance left to him by his childhood friend Edwin Edworth. Some people are surprised, others are disgusted at his good fortune – particularly Edworth's relatives who are left nothing in his will.
So when Davies's severed head is discovered in a Tesco bag and other bits of him start appearing elsewhere, it's the relatives who have the obvious motive for his murder. But DCI Merlin Parry and DS Gomer Lloyd have to dig a lot deeper mentally to identify some less obvious suspects, not to mention relatives, as well as physically to locate the remainder of the body before eventually cornering the killer.
Another delicious and authentic Welsh melange, more than matching the promise of 'Last Seen Breathing', lauded as 'a superbly crafted thriller' by Michael Boon in the 'Western Mail'.
‘Williams maintains suspense while keeping the masks of comedy and tragedy spinning like tops’
JOHN COLEMAN, 'Sunday Times'
