> In this selection of Inspector McLean's varied cases, each story presents a baffling problem to the police and the reader. McLean, however, solves the mysteries by brilliantly unexpected methods of investigation and deduction. Such cases as the charred and unrecognisable body found in a lonely cottage on the Dorset cliffs, and the equally mysterious affair of the burnt-out racing car with a bullet in the radiator, are packed with tension and ingenuity.
