So when he is found dead one November morning with a bread knife in his back, the chief of police faces a long line of suspects. Was it the new librarian, angered by Farrs threat to close the library? Was it the schoolteacher, whose pupil he threatened? Or perhaps his son, who he disinherited just before his death?</p><p>Reporter Killian McBean is also among the list, since Farr was planning to foreclose on the Cognac Courier and put him out of a job.
