Catch of the Day: Revenge doesn't die with you

A minor crime deserves a minor punishment and a serious crime a more serious punishment. But you have to get caught first and it certainly helps if you get someone else to do your dirty work for you. Then there's the question of who is going to catch you, and if caught, one has to be particularly devious to be able to get away with it. Even if one is as powerful a Member of Parliament and cabinet minister as Maurice Hamilton.
Abhorrence is a way of life for those with such a black heart which feeds off the goodwill of others but vengeance is a two-edged sword which can cut you down in the blink of an eye. "Absolutely ingenious is the only way to describe this plot. A real breath of fresh air has been injected into the world of sleuthdom."Ian Harden. SCC Editor.
