A moonlit night. A sleeping village. And an unaccountable murder... An English bobbie returning from night patrol finds a corpse in evening dress locked in the stocks on the village green. He identifies the body immediately. Andrew Vereker was not a well-loved man, and narrowing down the suspects is not going to be an easy job. The Vereker family are corrupt and eccentric -and hardly cooperative ... It's another case for the resourceful Superintendent Hannasyde, who sets off on the trail of a killer so cunning that even his consummate powers of detection are tested to their limits... 'Death in the Stocks is that rare and refreshing thing - a clever problem stated, developed and finally solved in terms of character' The Times 'Miss Heyer's characters act and speak with an ease that is as refreshing as it is rare in the ordinary mystery novel' Times Literary Supplement Crime & Mystery
