The Case of the Famished Parson: A page-turning British mystery with a clever twist (The Inspector Littlejohn Mysteries Book 1)

A corpse belonging to a gentle bishop is found at the base of a cliff on the Isle of Man in an ingenious mystery by the master of the â€œpure British detective storyâ€ (The New York Times).

Dr. James Macintosh, the Bishop of Greyle, was a mysterious man. For a long time, nobody even knew his last nameâ€¦ until his body is found emaciated and battered having been pushed face-first off the edge of a cliff.

Inspector Littlejohn faces an incredibly peculiar case. How to explain the savage murder of a gentle Bishop? Did he know too much about the secretive citizens of Cape Marvin? Or did it have something to do with the strange family he left behind in Medhope?

Above all, why was the Bishopâ€™s body so undernourished that death by violence won out by only a few days over death by starvation?

About Inspector Littlejohn
Inspector Thomas Littlejohn of Scotland Yard is a shrewd yet courteous sleuth who splits his time between quaint English villages, the scenic Isle of Man and French Provinces. With a sharp tongue and a dry sense of humour, Littlejohn approaches his work with poise and confidence, shifting through red-herrings and solving even the most perplexing of cases.
