(1970)(A book in the Thomas Littlejohn series)
A novel by George Bellairs
The murder of a criminal on the very night he is released from prison brings Littlejohn to the silent marshes of the Isle of Man in a case that baffles the locals...
The silent marshes of the Isle of Man are violently disturbed when the body of Joss Varran is discovered, hidden in a ditch opposite the cottage where he lived with his sister.
Varran, a recent release from a London prison, was already on Littlejohn's radar, so he quickly involves himself in the case.
As Littlejohn digs into Varran's past, it becomes clear that he was a hunted man. But which side of the law was he truly on?
The Night They Killed Joss Varran is the twenty-fifth title in Agora's Inspector Littlejohn Mysteries.
