Neck and Neck
A poisoned aunt, a family in turmoil, and a race against time to clear his name. When Lionel Townsend's aunt is found poisoned, he becomes the prime suspect and must enlist the aid of Sergeant Beef to clear his name. As Beef investigates, a seemingly unrelated murder in the Cotswolds draws his attention. An unpopular publisher is found hanged, and Beef suspects a connection. Can Beef unravel the truth before another life is lost? In this classic mystery, Leo Bruce weaves a tale of family secrets, blackmail, and small-town intrigue. Fans of classic British detectives and cozy mysteries will delight in Sergeant Beef's eccentric methods and Townsend's exasperated narration.
