“Home was a tumbledown cottage on a narrow track halfway up one of the best known local landmarks, referred to locally as the Dead Hill. Harris had purchased the house, which was obscured from the winding valley road below by a fold in the hillside, after stumbling across it while out on a walk with Scoot. The former shepherd’s cottage had been dilapidated and it had taken the inspector the best part of a year to restore it to habitable condition, doing most of the tasks himself and calling in f...avours for the rest. Now, it was his bolthole, close enough to Levton Bridge if he needed to get there quickly, but far enough to escape the world: the nearest habitation was a farm well out of sight on the other side of the hill and Jack Harris liked the fact that he could not see anyone from his front window. However, as his mother had always told him when he was a young man, he could escape the world but he could not escape himself and that had proved the case yet again when he had reached the cottage just a few hours previously.MoreLessRead More Read Less
