Death at the Nave

About the Book

Death at the Nave tells how a quiet school in a quiet English town suddenly becomes a melting pot of sex, violence, arson and death, with mayhem in the lab and love in the conservatory. Starting with a condom in a flower pot, a missing file and a torn test paper, a down-to-earth inspector and a headmaster who is prim and proper outside and surprisingly racy inside painfully sort out the tangle of relationships, ambitions and motivations that have given rise to the horrifying events that they witness.
