Murder by Logic

For Chief Inspector William Lamb and his assistant, Detective Sergeant Clive Halpen of the Murder Squad, Scotland Yard, it began when they were called in to investigate the murder of a girl student in her London flat. Soon, the body count was rising, but was there a serial killer on the loose or were the murders unconnected?

It was not difficult to find suspects, and few of them, if any, were telling the truth. Even so, there were good reasons to believe that none of them was guilty of the crimes and, invariably, little was as it seemed at first sight.

Lamb has two weeks to solve the case or face being replaced by a senior detective from another police force as pressure mounts from the media and the public to take the killer, or killers, off the streets, and not all of Lamb’s associates agree with the direction he is taking the investigation.
