2011, trade paperback edition (originally published in 1957), Arcturus Publishing, London, U.K. 253 pages. Some authors arrive on time and become immediate successes. We are talking about international sales. Others, like Francis Durbridge, have definite success here, there, and everywhere, and almost no one remembers their name at all. Imagine this Paul Temple mystery, which is neglected indeed. Two women are murdered within a week of each other. Scotland Yard calls on crime writer Paul Temple to help. Working with his elegant wife, Steve (not a typo), Temple investigates and all kinds of secrets are waiting. Believe it or not, the Paul Temple character first appeared in a BBC radio serial. That same character would later appear in 16 radio serials, become a 64-part major-budget television series, would also appear in comic strip form, in 4 feature films, and elsewhere. Here he returns in a beautifully done trade paperback edition.
