Publisher's Synopsis
A Chief Inspector Pointer Mystery
To help make ends meet, Mr. Hillock was in the habit of renting out rooms at his farm to artistic types down in the Sussex countryside looking for a rustic retreat. He wasn't particularly keen on art, nor the attention paid to his two daughters, but the money came in handy. However, when one of his boarders is found with his head bashed in this arrangement is thrown into disarray. Superintendent Gibbs, the county policeman called in to investigate the death enlists the help of one of the other boarders, a writer of mystery plays, to help him out, but even with this assistance, he finds himself out of his depth. It is at this point that Chief Inspector Pointer of Scotland Yard is called in to lend a hand to solve . . . The Upfold Farm Mystery
