An Antony Maitland Mystery

Beschreibung

"He didn't know where he was... ...and hard on that realization the further thought came with the force of a blow. He didn't know who he was." Antony and Jenny Maitland's old friend Peter Hammond didn't think he had smuggled heroin into the country when he alighted in London from an engineering job overseas-but he just couldn't remember! And he was certain he didn't murder that man in the hotel. But the police investigating the case investigating the case are convinced otherwise. Can Antony discover the truth behind the diabolical machinations of a seeming criminal conspiracy to frame an innocent man, or this time is his client really cooked? Before it's all over not only the liberty and life of Peter will be put gravely in peril, but that of Antony as well! "Plenty of crisp action" Francis Goff, Sunday Telegraph "Delightfully complicated story of drugs and thugs and amnesia," Virginia Pagley, Newsday
