Who Killed Cock Robin?

 

Barnaby is summoned when local doctor Oliver Burgess believes he has struck a pedestrian while driving home from his favorite pub — only to discover that the "victim" is nowhere to be found. This curious incident coincides with the disappearance of an Irishman who has recently and mysteriously popped up in the village. Adding to the intrigue is the upcoming wedding of the daughter of Melvyn Stockard, a former criminal with whom Barnaby has tilted in the past. The nuptials are put on hold when the Best Man is murdered; could this tragedy possibly be related to the aforementioned disappearances?
