About this Item

The fifth Lord Edward Corinth and Verity Browne mystery, signed " 'Lord Edward Corinth poised on the balls of his feet.' David Roberts" to the title page, now in protected jacket. 1937. Winston Churchill has been receiving unauthorized information on the perilous state of Britain's rearmament programme and Lord Edward Corinth is brought in to investigate the leaks. However, he soon falls under Churchills spell and quickly abandons his investigation to concentrate instead on finding the murderer of a Foreign Office official who may have been one of Churchill's sources. A second murder calls for a visit to Spain where Verity Browne is reporting on the Civil War and scents a scoop when she is given secret information that the enemy is planning an attack on the undefended town of Guernica. Together they witness the barbarous aerial bombardment on a civilian population with no means of defending itself. Back in England, Edward is faced with death once again - this time at Brooklands, where the world's fastest women race against the odds, reckless of the danger and in love with speed.
