Another tongue-in-cheek mystery in the popular Mike Malone series.

When, a week before the annual Flower Parade, a bull gets hit by a car, Detective Inspector Mike Malone initially thinks that it is an unfortunate accident.

The investigation takes an unexpected turn when a second murder is committed, seemingly by the town’s most unlikely criminal; Mike needs his wits about him to solve the crime especially as his Detective Sergeant, Alan Shepherd, has other things on his mind. Then a local farmer’s wife goes missing.
