One might suggest LAST RIGHTS was the swan song of a disgruntled police inspector who not only solved the most bizarre string of serial murders in ‘Carter’s Boys’, but he broke every rule in the book in doing so. Despite a conciliatory promotion, Hammond was determined that Scotland Yard had not heard the last of him.When Superintendent Jack Hammond took early retirement- imagining a new life in the country would be an idyllic and peaceful one-he was not prepared for reality. He didn’t take into account he would be left to the mercy of his wife Marjory, and indirectly, a bunch of the most eccentric characters you could ever wish upon anyone: Reverend Peter Jay, a scheming, evangelistic vicar; Janet Donald, a pariah of a headmistress obsessed with a gender fixation; Dick Meadows, the jolly grocer, who discovers he has unsettling psychic powers and Arthur Sandhurst, the charismatic real-estate agent. Last Rites is a bizarre crime-thriller preoccupied with past London memories, and has all the intriguing mystery of breaking codes and bizarre clues led by an astute, die-hard retired policeman, forced to work with a bunch of wanna-be amateur crime sleuths. Reverend Peter Jay is the nemesis-interested in solving old crimes and standing in as a prison Chaplain, where an inmates death-bed confession leads the group on a hunt, high and low to uncover an assassin hidden past and give his victims the dignity of the Last Rites.
