The Second Danzig and Hare Murder Mystery
Another adventure for Jim Danzig, the Castletown enquiry agent deeply suspicious of (and incompetent at handling) modern technology. He and his partner Judith Hare are called upon to investigate the death of 16-year-old Ryan Kelsall, former pupil at the local independent Grammar School, who met his death by a fall from the top of a deserted multi-storey car park. Two other people associated with him also died recently in obscure circumstances.
Enquiries by Danzig and Hare lead to their joining a local drama group run by former pupils and staff of Castletown Independent Grammar School, who are producing Measure for Measure. Many of the cast are found to have guilty secrets, from mere sexual peccadilloes to an elaborate fraud involving a hitherto unsuspected Shakespeare play.
Not without risk to themselves, an occasional punch-up, and some friction with the police, Danzig and Hare uncover the truth, and the murderer is revealed.
