Another One Goes Tonight
Peter Lovesey
Works of: Fiction
Peter Diamond, the Bath detective brilliant at rooting out murder, is peeved at being diverted to Professional Standards to enquire into a police car accident. Arriving late at the scene, he discovers an extra victim thrown onto an embankment, unconscious and unnoticed. Diamond administers CPR, but no one say whether the elderly tricyclist will pull through.
Why had the man been out in the middle of the night with an urn containing human ashes? Diamond’s suspicions grow after he identifies the accident victim as Ivor Pellegrini, a well known local eccentric and railway enthusiast. A search of Pellegrini’s workshop proves beyond question that he is involved in a series of unexplained deaths.
