'Bodyof a young girl, probably between twelve and fourteen years of age. Death apparently due to strangulation with white plastic covered flex, tied around throat with three knots '
With this dispassionate description of the scene of the crime begins Chief Inspector Saltfleet's methodical investigation into the death of a schoolgirl. At first it seemed a straightforward case of rape and murder. But some aspects of the case puzzled Saltfleet. Why had her clothes been neatly cut? Was it really rape? Why could no-one identify the school uniform?
In the huntfor a viciousand calculating killer, Saltfleetfinds himself drawn ever deeper into a dark labyrinth of sexual magic, perversion and devil worship. Only his extraordinary insight into the psychology of the sex murderer enables him to crack the case.
THE SCHOOLGIRL MURDER CASE marks Colin Wilson's debut as a writer of detective fiction; in it, he has brilliantly combined his intimate knowledge of police procedure and of the world of black magic to produce a novel of documentary persuasiveness and hypnotic power. Vissza
