Inspector Rottman is investigating the murder of young clergy assistant in the quiet village of Roeville.

Having already done some detective work, the three main suspects are:

1. Trevor Matthews, the vicar.
2. Benedict Leith, the organist.
3. Lionel Richardson, the choirmaster.

The Inspector is struggling to identify the culprit until he receives the following tip-off:

The altar boy behind the church.
The crows they flit from perch to perch.
Monday yes but Tuesday no,
Weds I stay but Thurs I go.
I’m in Friday, Saturday out.
Sunday’s odd so I say nowt.
Every other second counts,
The alter-ego presence mounts.
From black to white to black to white
Altruism wins the fight.
Solve this puzzle then you can,
Change your way to find your man.
