The Scaffold

ebook

Bristol solicitor, Alistair Duncan, is called in by insurers, to protect their interests, after a foreman is found dead, on a building site, at Shepton Mallet. Duncan's investigations throw doubt on the official theory that the dead man was accidently electrocuted. Why had witnesses lied at the inquest? What was the guilty secret of the beautiful and seductive young widow, June Hillyer, a girl with tastes beyond her means? And what claims could she make for damages? Why, too, was Dwight Riley the victim of brutal intimidation? As the sinister nature of the investigations unfold, the story rushes to a menacing climax when some unexpected answers are revealed. Enquiry agent, Charlie Wilkinson, reappears as does Lucy, Duncan's saucy and taunting secretary in this, the third, story of the solicitor who, in determined search for the truth, defies authority and danger alike.
