An original short story taken from the anthology Motives for Murder, by members of The Detection Club
When an odd-job boy is killed at one of Britain's top schools, Sergeant Cribb and Inspector Thackeray are on the case.
Called in to investigate what is a clear case of murder, Sergeant Cribb finds himself up against the establishment in trying to get justice for poor boy Tom Sayers. Can the rich really get away with murder? Not if Cribb can help it.
