The Lady Vanishes Rod Beddows

There is overwhelming evidence to suggest Mrs Howard has been murdered: blood in the marriage bed, on the carpet and a knife, in the husband's car's boot, and elsewhere. Yet there is no body. He claims she must have disappeared. But has no reason to suggest why. The police find no evidence to suggest anything other than murder. The husband is charged but claims he was 600 miles away fishing, however, he was alone. He makes no attempt to provide or create counter evidence; he has no alibi, has made no attempt to hide the blood, and has not removed any of his wife's possessions to support a claim of disappearance. The lady has vanished: dead or not? A very complex puzzle requiring a matching brain to unravel it. Howard's QC finds such a person. This is a psychologically and factually complex, unusual crime mystery.
