A Portion for Foxes — Kay Mitchell

A sinister link between the disappearance of a young college girl and a series of murders of vagrants poses a daunting challenge in this fourth mystery featuring Chief Inspector Morrissey and the Malminster CID. On Pel's Copse, near the college of Brindley, two foxes court - and they are the first to witness the chilling murders that horrify the village of Malminster. Desperate homeless men are the first to die at the hands of a cold killer with a cruel grudge and an uncanny ability to erase all clues. When a popular girl is found drowned in a frozen lake, soon followed by a faculty member with a checkered romantic past, CI Morrissey suspects that beyond the familiar faces of professors, tutors, and students lurks a relentless psychopath.
