Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 253 pages, a novel written by the enigmatic Michael (Mike) Borissow, the title being a favourite expression of Chief Inspector Albert Spinks, now a country detective. He looks to solve a double murder as well as a horse racing coup. Spinks, "a droll womanising, golf and cricket loving bachelor", is up against the County set, a Lord of the Manor and the secretive staff of a Public School, among others. Michael Borissow (1929-2002) was a journalist, night editor for the Daily Sketch, owner of a news agency, publisher and novelist (his other novel being The Naked Fairways). He built and ran his own golf course, Cranbrook Golf Club, and famously almost sold it to Bing Crosby whom he entertained for a round at Cranbrook in 1977, just two days before the singer's death. Borissow eventually retired to Portugal.
