Publisher's Synopsis
Having had his retirement snatched from him by malfunctioning technology, Peter "Mad Max" Maxwell finds himself facing yet another new year at Leighford High School. His wife, Jacquie, is further annoyed when a family holiday quickly becomes an impromptu Year Seven trip to the Isle of Wight. The situation takes another turn for the worst when the wife of Tom Medlicott, the new Head of Art, goes missing. Back in West Sussex, when Medlicott himself is found dead at the bottom of the stairs, Henry Hall is also drawn into the investigation, but with the entire man's family in the morgue, his suspect list is non-existent. Then Maxwell stumbles by accident on the linchpin to the whole case.
