Synopsis

The partners of the firm of ‘Crabbe and Crabbe: Private Investigators’ have unusual qualifications for detectives. Both in their twenties, Melpomene is a social anthropologist, and Alexander is a solicitor, a combination that brings fresh approaches to a sometimes jaded profession, while benefitting from effective collaboration with police forces in various parts of England, and occasionally even France. This, their latest case, starts out with an apparently minor incident of industrial sabotage, but inexorably extends to intimidation, assault, kidnapping and several types of murder, all instigated by a spiteful unscrupulous mastermind working at a high level in the textiles industry. Of course, Mel and Alex ultimately prevail, bring the guilty to justice, tie up almost all the loose ends, and move on to their next case.

À propos de l'auteur

Geoffrey Foster was born in London, England in 1933, and his childhood was mostly spent in Kent, in southeast England, where there are towns like Woodhampton. His father was a London policeman most of his working life, and his mother, when she worked, was a shorthand typist (a stenographer). He has two sisters, five and thirteen years younger than himself. He went to public elementary and secondary schools and then to the University of Cambridge, where he studied engineering. Moving to Australia in 1959, he taught Mechanical Engineering at the University of Queensland for 14 years, before switching to educational development. He took early retirement in 1995. As well as writing, he likes reading, listening to music, solving cryptic crosswords, walking the family beagle, Kafka, and playing tennis with his younger sister, Ynes.
