When some children find a dead woman in the park, it is up to Detective Collier to find the killer.
Meanwhile, Harry Hyde, an ineffectual ex-schoolmaster, is approached by a private investigator, Peppard before quickly disappearing...
Hyde is conned into obtaining compromising photographs for divorce evidence for his ex-employer, Mrs Ould, whose son he tutored.
But quickly Hyde is plunged into a nightmare he could not have forseen: he was the last man to be seen with Collier's victim, having met her frequently in the days before she was killed.
He is arrested and eventually charged with not one, but two murders, when Mr Ould is also discovered dead.
Hyde manages to escape from the police when their car crashes, but the nightmare closes in upon him with ever-increasing horror when he is tracked down by the dead woman's brother...
Managing to escape again, Hyde turns to an old friend for help as the police continue to search for him.
If Hyde didn't kill either victim, who did?
Can he find the real culprit before the police find him?
And can Collier piece together the few bits of information he has to solve the mystery?
A Man Who Cannot Kill 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.
