Produktbeschreibung
Philip Garve, a journalist on secondment in Jerusalem for a British newspaper, is more than familiar with the perils of the ancient city and the skirmishes between its people, so when he discovers a secret weapons stash by a roadside he begins to sense that an Arab uprising may be imminent. Complicating matters further are the charming Esther Willoughby, daughter of a famous author residing in the city, who has captivated Garve with her charms, and the cool and collected Anthony Hayson, an archaeologist working in the city's underground tunnels, who also has his sights set on Esther. As his journalist's instinct to chase a good story becomes hopelessly entangled with more personal reasons for keeping himself - and Esther - out of danger, Garve finds his own safety compromised in the secret tunnels on more than one occasion. And, as tensions mount and the pieces of the political puzzle come together, Garve begins to realise that his enemies may be a lot closer to home than he first thought.
Autorenporträt
Roger Bax is the pen name of Paul Winterton (1908-2001). He was born in Leicester and educated at the Hulme Grammar School, Manchester and Purley County School, Surrey, after which he took a degree in Economics at London University. He was on the staff of The Economist for four years, and then worked for fourteen years for the London News Chronicle as reporter, leader writer and foreign correspondent. He was assigned to Moscow from 1942 to 1945, where he was also the correspondent of the BBC's Overseas Service. After the war he turned to full-time writing of detective and adventure novels and produced more than forty-five books. His work was serialized, televised, broadcast, filmed and translated into some twenty languages. He is noted for his varied and unusual backgrounds - which have included Russia, newspaper offices, the West Indies, ocean sailing, the Australian outback, politics, mountaineering and forestry - and for never repeating a plot. Paul Winterton was a founder member and first joint secretary of the Crime Writers' Association.
