Description

The peace of the village of Kergwyns in Cornwall has been shattered by a bizarre murder. A beautiful young woman has been shot. The only thing taken from the scene is the shoe and stocking from her left leg, exposing her deformed foot.

Detective Superintendent Wycliffe uncovers evidence of an unhappy woman who routinely manipulated the men in her life. As half the men in the village have been known to visit her and most have reason to lie about it, finding the murderer will not be easy.

Wycliffe and the Three Toed Pussy follows Wycliffe as his task is complicated by the discovery of some clues in the form of crossword puzzles left by the victim herself. If Pussy knew she was going to die, why did she make no effort to save herself?

When several men have been incriminated in the murder, Wycliffe begins to wonder if someone very powerful is stage-managing events.
