The Lily-white Boys
By Anthea Fraser
When a disreputable van is dumped outside her house, Monica Tovey is unnerved. As its gruesome contents are revealed, a frightening chain of events is set in motion which seems to threaten her life… DCI Webb finds that murder trails in its wake a net of incongruities – burglary, football hooligans, low-flying aircraft and mysterious phone calls. Can he unscramble the clues to find the murderer and the truth about his two renowned victims?
As usual, his inquiries take him from humble cottages to sumptuous houses as he seeks to dig beneath the evasions, hesitations and denials with which his questions are met. Can he find the killer amongst the web of deceit and shifty lives of the locals? By the time he has the answer, Monica’s life and those of her family and friends have been turned upside down, never again to be the same. And at the root of it all lie the two they called The Lily-White Boys…
