'It was a chill afternoon in February, and the sun was just setting in a rose-pink haze behind the tors of Creffyn' In the Welsh borders, isolated by heavy snow and flooding from the thaw, cut off from telephone access, a tragedy has occurred. Old Dr Robinson known to be a menace on the roads has met his end in a car crash, his big saloon thrown from the track down the steep hillside. But when the police arrive there is more to the tragedy than meets the eye: why was there a second body an outsider to these parts in the back of the vehicle As the local inspectors dive into the muddy waters of this strange crime, Chief Inspector Julian Rivers and Inspector Lancing of Scotland Yard are called to investigate, with danger and deceit lying in wait among the lonely hills and authentically evoked landscapes.
Carol Carnac is a pen name of Edith Caroline Rivett (18941958), a prolific English crime writer who also found success under her pseudonym E C R Lorac. She was a member of the prestigious Detection Club, and was particularly lauded for her sense of detail and atmospheric settings. Her books include Murder by Matchlight, Bats in the Belfry and Fell Murder, all available as British Library Crime Classics.
