Description: "Like so many police officers, it was the ambition of Dick Simpson, a uniformed town patrol sergeant, to investigate a murder case. As he approached the end of his career it seemed unlikely his wish would be fulfilled. However, with the discovery of a murder victim in the local park, Sergeant Simpson is pitched headlong into Hildenley's first murder investigation." "The dead man was a known rapist and suspected murderer, but as the inquiries intensify Simpson's son becomes a prime suspect. With a lack of evidence against the lad, Sergeant Simpson faces the likelihood that a deep family secret could be revealed as he himself falls under suspicion. Meanwhile, the officer in charge of the inquiry boasts a one hundred per cent detection rate for murder, and has no intention of allowing that record to be ruined by an unsolved case." "To protect his family, Sergeant Simpson must now make a remarkable sacrifice."--Jacket.
