His wife reported him missing but later confessed the killing to her mother, who tipped off the police.
Burnett then took his erstwhile lover hostage, threw her into a car and drove wildly through the city with the cops on his tail. It could have turned into a bloody shoot out, but Burnett surrendered after half an hour. It was later turned into the television series In Plain Sight, starring Martin Compston and Douglas Henshall, for which Mr Nicol was the script adviser.a href="https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Why+we+murdered+a+millionaire%3b+For+the+first+time%2c+Brian+Tevendale...-a060432932 Max Garvie was slowly losing the plot. As the sex orgies broke one taboo, he had to move to new challenges. He found his next move in a most unexpected setting. And he has shown the same meticulous analysis of the facts, allied to a determination to ignore the more unsavoury aspects of the trial, to bring together a compelling argument that Mrs Garvie was both a flawed individual and somebody abused by a system which regarded her as having ideas above her station in a deeply misogynistic environment more than 50 years ago. He was arrested after he led the officers to where he had d umped the body by Lauriston Castle and he immediately blamed Sheila Garvie, who put all her trust in him.

Three people are accused of the crime: his wife, his wife’s lover and a young man whom Max had never met. They offer conflicting versions of what happened, practically the only common detail being that Max is dead.
