Books in the Inspector Littlejohn series by George Bellairs more often go on sale for $1.99 in the US than for $0.99. So it's nice to see The Tormentors on sale at $0.99 at Kindle US. The blurb says it's the 16th in the series, but, as we've discussed somewhere up-thread, this must be the 16th in the series as published by that publisher, because the series is very long, per SYKM, and this title is about 2/3 of the way through it - way more than #16, although I'm too lazy to count for real.

Anyway, here's the info on the book:

Spoiler:

Tensions run high on the Isle of Man when a man is found violently stabbed and his powerful family accuse a young boy of his murder.

The boy maintains his innocence, but the victim’s influential family are calling for justice. With the police unable to contain the conflict, Littlejohn is called to investigate.

The case leads Littlejohn to the Bishop’s Arms, the island’s most notorious pub, and the dubious characters who frequent it. Will Littlejohn find the clue among these shady figures before a possibly innocent boy is sent to jail?

Will Littlejohn find a clue amongst these shady figures before a potentially innocent boy is sent to jail – or were the fingers pointing in the right direction all along?
