AFTER THE murder in the cinema 'King'
Macey and his gang found themselves
surrounded by a police cordon. Hiding
behind a wall in the harbour they
discovered a means of escape in the form
of an old cabin cruiser. Soon they were
at sea, zig-zagging helplessly through the
fog, ignorant of everything nautical. By
the time they had holed the boat and it
began to sink they were within yards of
the Swirlstone Lighthouse; of a fortress
where the police would not dream of
searching for a murderer and where, if
and when they found him, he would be
secure from physical arrest....
This fascinating and plausible situation
provides the framework for Andrew
Garve's most exciting novel. The de-
velopment of relationships in the light-
house between the keepers and the
hoodlums is brilliantly handled, as are
the sub-plots and diversions in this
wonderful story.
Many thousands of readers rely on
Andrew Garve's novels for excitement,
credibility, ingenuity, and a simple
story-line cunningly developed. Here he
excels himself in a novel that should
appeal to an even wider public.
