Ben Davies a director of Rutherford Corinthian Football Club is found in the ground floor supporters bar with his throat cut. The other ten directors had already gathered for an Emergency General Meeting in the first floor boardroom.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve Winwood discovers that the founder of Rutherford Corinthian Football Club was considered insane. He had established a Trust to pay for the running costs of the Club and wrote the rule book by which the club was to be operated. Some rules were quite bizarre although true to the Corinthinian ideal such as the goalkeeper standing aside for penalty kicks.
As he digs deeper into the rules of the club suspicion falls on the directors who are likely to make a substantial financial killing if the Fotball Club and the ground is sold. Peter Redbourne Managing Director of Redbourne Brewery who sponsors the Club is never far from suspicion either.
Ben Davies past is shrouded in secrecy but as Winwood uncovers his ties to Rutherford and the financial world in which he works and from tha the reason for his killing
A conspiracy amongst the directors slowly unwinds until the solution to Davies’ murder is found amidst the very eccentric and unique way that the Trust was set up.
This can be read as a sequel to Murder at the Fleetwood but the book begins with a very brief recap of the events at the Murder Mystery Weekend, the previous book in the series.
