It's not often a Nobel Prize winner gets murdered...on your patch...very likely by a member of your own family. DCI Phil Benholme has the reputation for being a little soft because he tries to see both sides of every story. And if he hadn't on this occasion, the murder of Professor Unwala - Nobel Prize winner of 1945 - would have been recorded as a tragic accident. Was the elderly man a victim of a violent burglary? Or of a racist assault by Britforce troopers? Or did he know something about the collection of Celtic coins thought to be buried nearby? Clearly Inspector Benholme has a number of leads to follow up. Unfortunately they all point to one person - Conor Benholme. What does a 'soft cop' do when his teenage son is also his prime suspect?

Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. New York. 1998. St Martin's Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0312193351. 268 pages. hardcover. keywords: Mystery England. DESCRIPTION-Detective Chief Inspector Phil Benholme has been accused of being too soft. But this same fault has also enabled him to see both sides of every story-to observe in each crime committed the hidden motive, the unspoken intent, the unbridled emotion. With a sympathetic heart, he has excelled as an investigator but, some would say, failed as a man. It is not until the death of famed Professor Unwala, in the study of his cluttered King's Hampton home, that Detective Benholme finds his trait most treacherous. For although the professor's death was recorded as a tragic accident, Benholme soon discovers the cause to be murder. Was the Nobel Prize winner a victim of violent robbery? A racist assault by Britforce troopers? Or did the professor know something about the Hampton Hoard, a collection of mysterious Celtic coins worth a small fortune and thought to be buried somewhere nearby? inventory #27015.
