At the outset he has no inkling that events are about to take place which will alter the course of his won life - events which will, at the same time, put an end to the lives of others. ***The greed of two people leads remorselessly to murder. It is greed which enmeshes the guilty and the innocent alike in a web from which, in the end, there can be no escape.' ***(Quote taken from the back cover). ***'Leopold Horace Ognall (20 June 1908 - 12 April 1979), known by the pen names Hartley Howard and Harry Carmichael, was a British crime novelist. Ognall was born in Montreal and worked as a journalist before starting his fiction career. He wrote over 90 novels before his death in 1979. The private eye Glenn Bowman was one of his most successful characters. As Harry Carmichael, Ognall's primary series characters were John Piper (an insurance assessor) and Quinn, a crime reporter.'
