Death in Captivity: A WWII Locked-Room Mystery (British Library Crime Classics) - Softcover
Book 84 of 107: British Library Crime Classics
Synopsis
Discover the captivating treasures buried in the British Library's archives. Largely inaccessible to the public until now, this classic crime novel, featuring the challenges of World War II, was written in the golden age of detective fiction.
"Any book by Michael Gilbert is a treat"―Daily Telegraph
A man is found dead in an escape tunnel beneath an Italian prisoner-of-war camp. Did he die in an accidental collapse―or was this murder? Captain Henry 'Cuckoo' Goyles, master tunneller and amateur detective, takes up the case.
This classic locked-room mystery with a closed circle of suspects is woven together with a thrilling story of escape from the camp, as the Second World War nears its endgame, and the British prisoners prepare to flee into the Italian countryside.
Perfect for readers of Sophie Hannah and Louise Penny!
