The Secret Vanguard

English

By (author): Michael Innes

A Scotland Yard detective investigates a peculiar case of murder, poetry, kidnapping, and German spies in this classic British wartime thriller.

Insp. John Appleby is puzzled by the death of Philip Ploss. Who would want to kill such a harmless, quiet man known for writing mid-level nature poetry? . . .

Poetry is what Sheila Grant overhears two men discussing on a train outside Edinburgh. Their whole conversation seems absurd to her, especially after one of them misquotes the poet Swinburne. Unfortunately, her discovery quickly places her in danger . . .

Meanwhile back in London, Appleby learns of a kidnapping on a train in Scotland and senses a connection to Plosss murder. Locating Sheila will certainly lead Appleby to Plosss killer, but only if he finds her alive . . .

Youd let a cobra walk all over you before youd put this one down to defend yourself. The New Yorker

Very exciting, full of most painstakingly described violent action. The Observer

For sheer excitement and picturesque melodrama The Secret Vanguard will delight everyone. New Statesman
