Death Duty

It's a mystery to his colleagues how Jack Mowgley reached the rank of Detective Inspector. Or how he came to be in charge of a major intercontinental ferry-port. Some reckon the eccentric detective had something juicy on those above him, particularly Chief Superintendent 'Gloria' Mundy. In the first Mowgley Mystery, the resolutely unreconstructed, unredeemable and unapologetically out-of-date policeman learns that a passenger has gone missing on a ferry crossing to Cherbourg.
