JRL Anderson 
Late Delivery 
A classic English murder mystery

When an eighteen-year-old boy is accused of murder, the jury unanimously believe he is guilty. Chief Constable Piet Deventer does not.



Drawn towards an ongoing case involving an arsonist setting fire to letter boxes, and startled by the appearance of a local charity chairman swearing that the boy is innocent, Piet quickly realises that the murder at the post office is not as straightforward as it appears.



In private pursuit of the true culprit, the Chief Constable is drawn into a twisted web of arson, forgery and betrayal -Will Piet Deventer be able to solve the case one last time?




Late Delivery is J.R.L. Anderson’s final investigation starring Piet Deventer, and is an unmissable end to a remarkable series.
