โฆ Synopsis
On a sultry August evening, the bloody body of a middle-aged woman is discovered beneath a hedge by a small boy. The woman turns out to be Rhoda Comfrey, but there's no apparent motive. Wexford's only hunch is that the clues to her murder must lie in her solitary London life. But her existence there becomes frustratingly impossible to trace.
