The death of wealthy Elizabeth Doyle, a pillar of the local community, shakes the village of West Deering.
Who could hold a fatal grudge against such a woman - and act upon it in such quiet, sleepy surroundings?
She went missing, along with her car, whilst distributing food for the Meals on Wheels service.
The prime suspects are two London youths, in a clear-cut case of an outsider attack.
However, it appears that the evidence is misleading.
The killer is much closer to home - someone from the centre of this quiet community.
The local villagers offer little assistance for Detective Inspector George Hasted, their behaviour becoming increasingly wary and suspicious.
With so many stories surrounding the murder, which can Inspector Hasted believe?
He can trust no-one....
A Choice of Victims is a gripping murder mystery by master of the genre J F Straker
'A perfectly plotted story that is both chilling and memorable.' - Robert Foster, best-selling author of The Lunar Code.
J F Straker was born in Farnborough, Kent and lived in Sussex. During the war he served with The Buffs and on the General Staff and then became a schoolmaster. His interest in writing began at an early age but it was not until the war when he had to spend long periods in the desert with very little distraction that he completed his first novel. He was the author of twenty-five novels including Murder of Miss Emily and Death on a Sunday Morning.
