Riassunto:

The story of how Mr. Weatherall, the headmaster of a school, but otherwise an ordinary man, was introduced to a huge nationwide black market operation. It seems that anything goes so as to ensure profits and the continuance of the fraud in what amounts to crime on a vast and organised scale. Moreover, was the victim run over by a train before, or after, he died? And can Mr. Weatherall succeed in getting to the heart of the matter in a one man battle against such odds?

Informazioni sull?autore:

Born in Lincolnshire, England, Michael Francis Gilbert graduated in law from the University of London in 1937. He first spent some time teaching at a prep school, which was followed by six years serving with the Royal Horse Artillery. During World War II he was captured following service in North Africa and Italy, and his prisoner-of-war experiences later led to the writing of the acclaimed novel Death in Captivity in 1952. After the war, Gilbert worked as a solicitor in London, but his writing continued throughout his legal career. In addition to novels, he wrote stage plays and scripts for radio and television. He is, however, best remembered for his novels, which have been described as witty and meticulously plotted espionage and police procedural thrillers, but which exemplify realism. Much of Michael Gilbert’s writing was done on the train as he traveled from home to his office in London.
