A Question of Proof (A Nigel Strangeways Mytery, 1)

In the first book in the Nigel Strangeways classic crime series an obnoxious schoolboy is found dead at his school Sports Day; can amateur detective Nigel Strangeways help find the killer?

The annual Sports Day at respected public school, Sudeley Hall, ends in tragedy when the headmaster's obnoxious nephew is found strangled in a haystack. The boy was despised by staff and students alike but English master Michael Evans, who was seen sharing a kiss with the headmaster's beautiful young wife earlier that day, soon becomes a prime suspect for the murder.

Luckily, his friend Nigel Strangeways, nephew to the Assistant Commissioner of Scotland Yard, is on hand to help investigate the case.

A Question of Proofis the first Nigel Strangeways Mystery and is the perfect introduction to this most charming and erudite detective from the Golden Age of crime writing.
