Something the cat dragged in : a Peter Shandy mystery

For Professor Ungley, death isn't half as inconvenient as losing his toupee. An unpleasant man in every respect, university professor Herbert Ungley is exceedingly vain. One morning, his landlady catches her cat coming in with Ungley's hairpiece between its teeth. It's clear something has happened to the old grouch, because he would never be caught without his toupee. Ungley is found in the yard behind his social club, with his head bashed in and his baldness plain for the world to see. Although the police are content to call it an accident, sleuthing horticulturalist Peter Shandy is unconvinced, and finds there are too many unanswered questions. How did Ungley come to have such a bulging bank account? Who was Ungley's long-lost heir, and what did he have to do with the professor's lost hair? And whose is the second body in the woods? Shandy must answer these questions and more if he's to find who pulled the rug out from the balding corpse.

Acting on Edmund's clue, she discovered the remains of her aged, unpleasant, but usually predictable boarder Professor Herbert Ungley impaled on a harrow peg behind the clubhouse of the exclusive Balaclavian Society."@en
