Bolsover Case Probes Unusual Life Policy Fraud

Two directors of the Heron Life and Fire Insurances Company and their private inquiry team investigate a £5,000 policy on Evan Bolsover. They uncover suspicious medical and domestic staff testimony, odd funeral arrangements, and a potential route by which Bolsover’s body may have traveled to London. A workingman from Medbury Royal later arrives to shed light on possible background details as investigators pursue further leads.
