Murder Being Once Done


This is London. Not Kingsmarkham We’ve hardly any men on the case. We need all the help we can get.

Detective Inspector Burden

Mike Burden is on secondment in London. He is investigating the murder of a young woman found strangled in Kenbourne Vale cemetery vault when Reg Wexford, who is convalescing after a thrombosis, comes to stay in nearby Chelsea with his nephew, Superintendent Howard Fortune. Burden’s case is not progressing well, and Wexford decides to go against the doctor’s orders and embark upon his own unofficial investigation.
