The Narrow Search

It doesn't take Clare Hunter many years of married life to discover that her husband, Arnold, is ruthless and unscrupulous. But it is not until she attempts to break up their unsatisfactory marriage that she herself becomes the victim of his power-complex.

To prevent her leaving him, Arnold resorts to blackmail - of a highly specialised variety. Ordinary legal methods seem powerless to cope with the situation and Clare is becoming desperate when she finds an ally in a former colleague, Hugh Cameron. With little to guide them but their own ingenuity, these two find themselves embarked on a series of adventures which take them - and the reader - deep into the heart of a fascinating and little-known aspect of English life.

Readers of 'The Megstone Plot', 'Death and the Sky Above', and other novels by Andrew Garve will know that they can count on him for a thrilling, realistic and ingenious story.
