Book description
Harry Banner turned up in London one November evening. He had just
got back from Venezuela and he wanted to see Robert Cade. He'd known
Cade six years earlier in Buenos Aires and now Banner wanted a small
favour, just to keep a parcel until he called back for it. The trouble
was that Banner never did call back, because the next morning he was
found dead in his hotel room with a stab wound to the chest. Other
people came looking for the parcel at his flat, but by that time Cade
had decided a trip to Venezuela might throw some light on the reasons
for Harry's murder. However, in San Borja, the climate could be very
unhealthy for someone who went round asking too many questions.
James Pattinson was a fulll-time author who, despite having travelled
throughout the world, lived in the remote village where he grew up. He
wrote magazine articles, short stories and radio features as well as
numerous novels including Obituary for Howard Gray, also published by
Hale.
