The Maths Teacher And Death

First case for the charmingly oddball high school teacher and Poirot fan Gregor Horvath

Great fun for everybody who went to school (or works in one)

One morning, teacher Gregor Horvath almost falls over the body of a colleague in the schoolyard. Maths teacher Michael Menzel has clearly fallen out of a window. The over-worked police force soon file the case as suicide but Horvath, a great Hercule Poirot fan, gets a whiff that something is amiss. Together with a few pupils from his German class, Horvath starts investigating; there is at least a multitude of suspects: teachers, pupils, parents... It is just the real culprit that Horvath would rather not get close to.
