Killer in the Shade

Following a late-night call during a power cut, Dr. John Cadman came upon a dead man - stabbed only minutes earlier - in an otherwise deserted house. Before he left, the doctor was disturbingly aware that his own family was involved in some strange way. Later, he recalled where he had previously seen the victim - and with whom. Superintendent Frank Drury of Scotland Yard and his assistant, Inspector Bill Hazard, discover they have the solution to several puzzling cases when they finally solve the mystery.

First published in 1973, Killer in the Shade is a classic crime more complex than the simple 'who done it' detective mystery; with an ever expanding cast and unfolding plot, this novel entertains to the last sentence.
