A gang of London warehouse thieves kill a policeman, Dyerson, during a raid.
The murder is seen by three people, none of whom is anxious to come forward as a witness.
The only lead the police have is one witness and the name Bandy.
Meanwhile David Wight, a young journalist on 'Topical Truths', meets Nora Winstone in a bar and offers to drive her home. But when he visits the next morning to return some of her belongings, she's missing.
Nora is more than just a victim to the police, she's also one of the witnesses of Dyerson's attack.
David becomes involved in the case, which is being handled by his godfather, Detective Superintendent Morgan of Scotland Yard.
He begins to investigate himself, approaching his friend Paul Brenn-Taylor and coming across the names Robert Lumsden and a mysterious 'Bill' in Nora's diary...
When David's own home is broken into and then he comes across Nora's supposed husband, who has just returned from his own captors, he begins to fear for his own involvement and his life.
Then Nora's bloodied scarf is found in the back of a car and David is being followed.
When more bodies are discovered and David goes missing, it's a race against time to find the killer...
Can Morgan and David solve the mystery and find her killer before someone else is murdered?
Will David get his exclusive story?
And at what cost?
Final Witness is a gripping crime thriller from the best-selling author 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.
