The teacher / Tim Sullivan.
"He's a victim, but is he innocent? In a village in South West England, an elderly man is found dead in his home. The angle of his neck says he fell down the stairs. But the stab wound on his body tells a different story. In the weeks before his murder, Alistair Moreton changed. He always kept to himself, but people swear there was someone in the house when they checked on him. There was a reason he wouldn't let them inside. Prickly and miserable, Moreton wreaked havoc on his neighbors and his ex-pupils. While DS George Cross's list of suspects is long, every victim deserves justice. But in all of Moreton's years, there was something important he never learned: If you go through life making enemies, don't be surprised when they teach you a lesson"-- Publisher description.
