Dead on Time by Clifford Witting
The scene is The Blue Boar in the High Street, Lulverton. The occasion: the stag party planned to celebrate Sergeant Bert Martin's retirement after thirty years' service. But Bert had still until midnight before Bradfield was due to step into his shoes. At nine twenty-five Jimmy Hooker was still very much alive, if a little the worse for wear, when he barged in on the party in the upstairs room. At closing time he was dead in the saloon. 'And I don't think,' said 'Pop' Collins, licensee of the Blue Boar, 'that it was in the way of nature.'
Witting, Clifford: - Catt Out of the Bag appeared first in 1939, one of 16 novels that the author put out with Hodder & Stoughton between 1937 and 1964. He died in 1968. Witting is now very collectible and is seen as one of the leading detective storywriters of the pre-war and immediate post war period. Most of his books were set in Downshire featuring Inspector Harry Charlton assisted by Peter Bradfield.
