The Case of Robert Quarry (Bello) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A tense, cleverly devised game of bluff and double-bluff . . .

Most successful men make enemies but Robert Quarry, a rich and ruthless industrialist, had more than his share.

Feeling was running high at Quarry's strike-bound factory in the Midlands. Threats were commonplace. When his battered body was found in a wrecked car, everything pointed to the strikers . . .

But one thing puzzled Detective Chief Superintendent Burns - why had Quarry fixed an alibi for himself on the night he was killed?

'A tightly written and plotted exercise in deduction, quite absorbing' Yorkshire Post

Autorenporträt

Andrew Garve 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. Andrew Garve was a founder member and first joint secretary of the Crime Writers' Association.
