In That Rich Earth

How long does it take for a human body to decay until only the bones remain? When Detective Sergeant Harry Chamberlane received news of a body, he raised exactly that question. A great deal depended on the answer, as well as on the answers to other connected questions, such as: Whose was the body? How had the person died? Who was to blame for the death and in what circumstances? But above all, why - and for how long - had the bones lain in the earth?
