A classic English murder mystery

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When a Cambridge undergraduate room is broken into, the police's firm belief is that it's mere petty theft.

But this is no ordinary student - Mike Rawlinson has recently hit the headlines for surviving a near-death experience in the Carminian desert. When poison is found in the burgled room, Colonel Peter Blair realises the two incidents might share a common villain.

Rawlinson has been working for a Carminian mining consortium, and Blair suspects there is more to their activities than meets the eye. And with rumours of gold and uranium both being discovered in the desert, the stakes are rising - fast.

Only Rawlinson's knowledge and Blair's ingenuity can prevent catastrophe - but amidst international conspiracy and double-dealing, this might be the colonel's hardest case yet.

Autorenporträt

JRL Anderson was an author of fourteen mystery stories and numerous works of non-fiction. He was a journalist at the Guardian for many years, before retiring to pursue his career as an author. He had a life-long interest in sailing and adventure, which results in many of his novels (as his original author biography from the 1970s puts it) ending 'with an exciting sea chase in a small boat'.
