Synopsis
For actor Toby Flood, Brighton is the final week of a long tour. One night he is visited at the theatre by his estranged wife, Jenny, who, visibly scared, thinks she is being stalked. She asks Toby, for old times' sake, to find out what is going on.
Alarmingly he discovers a sinister connection with Jenny's new partner. Spurred on by a desire to win Jenny back, Toby begins to ask some difficult questions. Before he fully understands the risks he is running, he finds himself caught up in a mysterious - and dangerous - tangle of family rivalries and murderous intent. Suddenly the prospects for his survival start to look very far from good...

Review
"The novel is an absorbing display of craftsmanship, with the transition from the initial theatrical milieu to the Hitchcockian finale accomplished with typical deftness" (Sunday Times)
"An exquisitely crafted tale of dirty dealings among nice English provincial families, this time revolving around a dangerous chemical factory. Goddard is the most idiosyncratic writer around, a wholly English institution with an unmistakable flavour, like cyanide cucumber sandwiches" (The Times)
"Pages seldom turn more quickly then when you are reading Goddard's latest" (Yorkshire Evening Post)
"Twists in the plot come thick and fast" (Guardian)
"Gripping" (Publishers Weekly)
From the Publisher
PLAY TO THE END is another classic Robert Goddard mystery, intricate, fascinating and deeply satisfying to the last page
