Riassunto

We meet George Fortescue and Ronald Trimm. The former appears to be a very gentle man who is, in every sense of the word, ordinary. Trimm, though, is a successful small businessman who nonetheless feels deprived in one area because of his frigid, yet almost controlling, wife. Pornographic magazines fill the void for a while, but then he encounters a willing widow. However, when two rapes and murders occur, it is Fortescue who receives the attention of the police. What is it about this man that allows him to become the chief suspect?

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Born in Surrey, England, to John and Alison Larminie in 1924, Margaret Yorke (Margaret Beda Nicholson) grew up in Dublin before moving back to England in 1937. During World War II she saw service in the Women's Royal Naval Service as a driver. Her childhood interest in literature was reinforced by five years living close to Stratford-upon-Avon and she also worked variously as a bookseller and as a librarian in two Oxford colleges, being the first woman ever to work in that of Christ Church. Her first novel was published in 1957, but it was not until 1970 that she turned her hand to crime writing. There followed a series of five novels featuring Dr. Patrick Grant, an Oxford don and amateur sleuth, who shares her own love of Shakespeare. She has written some forty-three books in all, but the Grant novels were limited to five.
