Then the murders begin.
Paul and his wife Steve assist Scotland Yard in finding the murderers, but Steve is in grave danger and the clock is ticking.
Reviews
Francis Durbridge, made [Paul and Steves] adventures utterly enchanting within that shivering threadbare postwar reality.The Telegraph
A classy period piece, all clipped accents, glamour and a smoking and drinking count to rival Mad Men. Great fun and surprisingly gripping. The Guardian
