Adam takes part in the recruitment interviews for the next Headteacher (Headmaster for those old enough not to be politically correct) and during a break in the interviews one of the candidates, Mr. Ian Youngs, is found murdered. In the children’s kitchen no less! The school tried once before to recruit a new Headteacher but they failed for reasons that are initially hushed up, but does that failure have anything to do with why Mr. Young’s was murdered?
