Death Unholy

An abandoned church in a village set in time - the ideal
setting for murder. Detective Inspector Tremayne and his sergeant, Clare
Yarwood, are hard pushed to solve the crime and to stay alive.

‘Do you believe in spontaneous human combustion?’ Detective Inspector Keith Tremayne asked.

‘Not me. I’ve read about it. Who hasn’t?’ Sergeant Clare Yarwood answered.

‘I haven’t,’ Tremayne replied which did not surprise his young
sergeant. In the months they had been together, she had come to realise
that he was a man who had little interest in the world. A cigarette in
his mouth, a beer in his hand and a murder to solve was about the
happiest she ever saw him, and even then, he could hardly be regarded as
one of life’s most sociable. And as for reading? The occasional police
report, an early morning newspaper, the back pages for the racing
results.
