With Hope for Death

Late October evening. The police arrived at a secluded house in the vicinity of Oxford. There is a corpse of a robber, shot during necessary self-defense. At least, that is what the armed homeowner and his wife claim. But clearly, something is off…
Inspector Fauli has not a single clue to identify the deceased. His face is completely blown off by the shot. His fingerprints are absent from the national database. The door was broken in a very unprofessional manner. And the bloodied clothes of the shooter somehow turned out to be… washed.
