Headless
Inspector Stuart Stranaghan investigates the attempted murder of the headmaster of a prestigious boarding school two years after the unsolved murder of his predecessor. Stranaghan has been chosen because of his literary background, which, it is felt, makes him better placed to deal with the motley collection of academics that make up the list of suspects. Stranaghan is not the standard fictional sleuth; he is intelligent certainly, but he is no mastermind in the mould of a Poirot or a Morse.

Über den Autor
Robert Blair is a retired teacher who was born and grew up in Northern Ireland. He studied modern languages at Queens University in the 1960s and at the University of Ulster in the 1970s where he took a masters degree in German twentieth century literature. His concerns with matters educational come from a teaching and examining career that spanned four decades. His interest in politics is coloured by his study of literature and philosophy, his experience growing up in a Labour supporting family and the effects of the Ulster troubles on the Enlightenment values he had been taught to respect. None of his novels to date are set in Ulster, but some of the issues are aired, minus their Irish accretions, in this and his two earlier novels.
