Shibboleth

About the Book

Where better to dispose of a body than in a grave-yard? The problem was planning a murder whole thing and getting away without suspicion. A murder is planned, all the pieces planned ahead and all undertaken whilst the husband is 3,000 miles away in America. Fifteen years later, a skeleton is found and identified and now the police need to find a murder. They look, first thing, at the e-husband, but his alibi seems unshakeable even through a murder trial.

About the Author

Dreams about getting out of the first marriage made me apply my forensic knowledge.I suspect that there is a way to pull of a successful murder and get away scot free, so I applied what I had learned as a forensic engineer doing legal work and 'Shibboleth' was the result. Having to leave a job I loved (University Academic) due to a bad dose of MS, I was retired, but still mentally active. Writing (mainly Technical works) was a way of life, and, if I can be quite honest, it had got a bit boring. I have always been an avid reader and so the idea of using any writing talents that I may have to write a book seemed logical. I now live in a village just south of Cambridge, spending about 6 months per year there and the other 6 months in Stellenbosch in South Africa, where I take advantage of the weather and re-hab facilities. I'm still engaged in the technical side, being on a national committee of one of our Professional Institutes. Working with friends to try to get some of our patents 'out there' and make retirement more comfortable!
