Illegal Tender
By Gerald Hammond
He knew about the million-pound scam. But he didn’t expect the murder.
When Henry Kitts pays a routine visit to his wealthy ward, Elizabeth, it soon transpires that she has been duped out of one-and-a-half million pounds by a fraudulent e-mail scam.
Henry investigates in the hope of tracking down the fraudster. Then matters take a more chilling turn when Henry discovers the body of Maurice Cowieson, a local businessman, who appears to have been killed in a car crash. But upon further examination his injuries tell an altogether different story. Has a clever financial trickster now turned his hand to murder?
