A crime series.
This week: Ian Ogilvy as Michael Innes's Inspector Appleby investigates the case of the Lesson in Anatomy
Dramatised by John Gould
Also starring John Glyn-Jones, Michael Gough, Ewan Hooper, Esmond Knight
The vulture quietly sat and eyed the assembly - and after the corpse grinned two minutes passed before the lights went out. In the darkness murder was committed. Inspector Appleby, called to the scene, finds himself involved in a world of academic back-biting subtlety - a world which he faces with assurance. But he needs more than assurance to unravel this macabre case. That a re-enactment of an eighteenth-century anatomy lecture should be a yearly event in a University is strange enough-that a murderer should choose this time and place for his crime is stranger still.
