Enter Certain Murderers: An Antony Maitland Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917382229)

"Let's say, a man's presumed innocent--"

"A very proper attitude," Denning applauded. "But don't you think you're carrying it a little too far?"

Antony and Jenny Maitland's stage actress friend Meg Hamilton (see Bloody Instructions) tells them that her lover Roger Farrell is the prime police suspect in the fatal shooting of the man who had been blackmailing his late mother. Worse yet, from the Maitlands' perspective, it appears that the police also believe that Meg may have been Roger's accessory in the crime. Can Antony save Meg and Roger from the police-as well as from themselves? It seems that the bumped-off blackmailer may have other victims as well. Could the culprit have been another blackmailee who decided to "put paid" to the dead man's criminal schemes? How will Antony fare when he is pitted against a ruthless individual who is determined that murder-not to mention assorted other ill deeds done-will never out?

"Taut suspense thriller ... complex and fascinating puzzle ... [Antony Maitland] is sure to become the British answer to Perry Mason-but with more style." Camden Courier-Post

"I found it a genuine puzzler, absorbing, and wholly satisfying. Should I ever need the services of a London barrister, Antony Maitland is my man." Harold Q. Masur
