Mervyn Davies left South Wales under a cloud forty years ago, but now he's back to collect a vast inheritance left to him by his childhood friend Edwin Edworth. Some are surprised; others are disgusted ... but who wanted him dead?
Mervyn Davies left South Wales under a cloud forty years ago, but now he's back to collect a vast inheritance left to him by his childhood friend Edwin Edworth. Some people are surprised, others are disgusted at his good fortune - particularly Edworth's relatives who are left nothing in his will.
So when Davies's severed head is discovered in a Tesco bag and other bits of him start appearing elsewhere, it's the relatives who have the obvious motive for his murder. But DCI Merlin Parry and DS Gomer Lloyd have to dig a lot deeper mentally to identify some less obvious suspects, not to mention relatives, as well as physically to locate the remainder of the body before eventually cornering the killer.
