About
Vital information is being leaked from top British companies, and with the Cold War intensifying, the Home Office suspects it is travelling east.
The leak is traced to the Oxfordshire headquarters of a large scientific engineering group. Thanks to his new-found reputation as an amateur sleuth, Peter Blair is called to investigate.
Peter travels undercover as a river-bound holidaymaker. But this is no pleasure cruise - before long Peter finds himself face-to-face with murder.
Death in the Thames, the second mystery featuring Peter Blair, and following on from Death on the Rocks, is not to be missed. Conspiracy and intrigue, corrupt politicians and devious businessmen - this is J.R.L. Anderson at his best. JRL Anderson was an author of fourteen mystery stories and numerous works of non-fiction. He was a journalist at the Guardian for many years, before retiring to pursue his career as an author. He had a life-long interest in sailing and adventure, which results in many of his novels (as his original author biography from the 1970s puts it) ending 'with an exciting sea chase in a small boat'. Peter Blair finds himself embroiled in mystery once again - but this time as a professional detective going undercover for the Home Office A classic English murder mystery from a master of 1970s crime Perfect for readers of Agatha Christie and Ian Samson (whose The Norfolk Mystery
was a recent selection for the Waterstones Book Club) Zaffre will be republishing Anderson's entire backlist of 14 novels
