3. Death on Remand

Publication: 1966, Mayflower-Dell, 1st thus

Font size: small


A whodunnit in the best blood-tingling tradition, which keeps the reader gasping and guessing till the last page.Although Julian Prentice is a small-time crook, his theft of a car hardly seems to warrant someone's very deliberate attempt to kill him on the day he is released from prison. The final roll-call of suspects comes to six, with six apparently foolproof alibis. Yet someone is lying. It falls to Detective-Superintendent Simon Manton to work out who.

6. Arm of the Law

Publication: 1960, Corgi, 1st thus

Font size: small


Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die . . .
It's the carnival motto for Trinidad's most colourful celebrations of the year. But, while thousands enjoy themselves in uninhibited eating, drinking and love-making, Detective-Superintendent Simon Manton is on the hunt for a dangerous killer.
He has struck twice, and he will strike again. For one unlucky person the carnival motto is about to become a sinister reality.
