Book Overview
The murder of a criminal on the very night he is released from prison brings Littlejohn to the silent marshes of the Isle of Man in a case that baffles the locals... On the night that Joss Varran was expected home after a visit to Wormwood Scrubs, his body was found in a ditch right opposite the cottage where he lived with his sister. Chief Superintendent Littlejohn, of Scotland Yard, soon becomes involved in the case as a result of Varran's recent imprisonment in a London jail. Joss Varran had been a sailor on a container ship between Ramsey and Preston and somewhere in his voyages had been caught up in events which had made him a hunted man, not so much by the police as by his partners in crime. From all appearances, he had endeavoured to shake them off by getting himself imprisoned! His efforts, however, were in vain and his murder presents a confusing case in the Manx curraghs for Inspector Knell, of the Manx police, and his friends Littlejohn and the Venerable Caesar Kinrade, Archdeacon of Man. The Night They Killed Joss Varran was first published in 1970.
