Blood Will Out

When an unpleasant and unpopular local magistrate Hector Bridges is found shot dead in his house investigations uncover that his wife was married to one of their neighbours Will Saxby and Saxby's current wife used to be Mrs Bridges his daughter Fleur is really Saxby's daughter and a new-age traveller Orville Trudway who has recently moved into the village was an old army comrade with a grudge against him. Things are complicated still further by the presence of a group of travellers on the village common who proceed to hold a horse-race.
