Bloody Instructions

Introducing Antony Maitland, British super-sleuth and courtroom genius

The apparently motiveless murder of an elderly solicitor sets off an unofficial investigation by Antony Maitland, a young barrister, in his own interests and those of his contentious uncle Sir Nicholas who will ultimately bring the case to trial. An actor's divorce action, the disappearance of the dagger from the theatre where he is starring in Macbeth, two romances and a long forgotten estate keep this complicated... A debut which is also a bright beginning, certainly for those who like high spirited activity.
