To Love and Be Wise

The advent of Leslie Searle was not a particularly fortunate happening for the village of Salcott St Mary. Of all the people whose lives he touched few were wholly glad of his coming. The American photographer possessed an almost inhuman beauty, something not quite of the world of men, and his presence aroused a variety of violent emotions in the small community. Then, one spring night, he disappeared close to the river. A case of missing, presumed drowned, and Detective Inspector Grant is sent to Salcott St Mary to search for the young man’s body. Although he is not short of murder suspects, Grant is deeply puzzled: Leslie Searle has vanished like someone performing the Indian rope trick in an English meadow.
