Day Of Vengeance: Dorothy Martin Investigates Murder In The Cathedral (A Dorothy Martin Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
‘You know the police will be looking into Lovelace’s record, and they’re trained to spot that sort of shenanigans. Why put Walter in harm’s way?’ ‘Because he can get on it right away. The police will be looking at Lovelace, first, in connection with Brading’s murder – trying to determine an alibi, that sort of thing. Despite what you often read in the kind of fiction you prefer, the police aren’t stupid.’ ‘Well, I know that!’ I said indignantly. ‘Look who I married!’ Alan smiled. ‘Point taken. The police are, however, hamstrung by regulations. They would need a warrant to search the books. I’ve told you how often we knew, in Belleshire, who had committed a crime – knew it beyond all possible doubt – but were unable to prosecute because of some irregularity in the evidence, some mistake in procedure, some obscure point of law. Now, I concede that they’re necessary, these laws about evidence and procedure. I even embrace them. They protect the innocent.
