An extravagant ganster is ambushed and assassinated; the only witness a ten-year-old-boy. Nothing irritates Chief Inspector Pel more than having to investigate the killing of a criminal; but a couple of peripheral enquiries - a respected spinster blundgeoned with poker, a sports outfitter accused of an assault on his assistant - provide unexpected links with the murder which project Pel into what becomes an international investigation with Scotland Yard. Finally the 'Rosbif' connection strikes gold and a two-nation gangland conspiracy is convincingly terminated.A book in the Inspector Pel series. Mark Hebden's thirteenth crime novel starring the redoubtable, quirky Chief Inspector Evariste Clovis Desire Pel.
