Nearly Dead by PETER WHALLEY An old man is murdered in a geriatric hospital. Detective Inspector Halliwell investigates. It's like clutching at thin air! I mean normally you look for motives, you look for relationships. people who've seen things.... Well. you can't do that here. They're all in their own little worlds, cut off from one another. And certainly cut off from me.'
