London publisher, Dick Francis feel, too many violent attacks in the first 50 pages otherwise quite good. ( ) This mystery involves Alex Plumtree who owns a publishing firm in London and a manuscript by an author using the pseudonym Arthur that is about to reveal a World War II era crime. Although the plot lent itself to promise, its delivery was disappointing. The end result was more like an amateur sleuth engaged in espionage than an exploration of the actual crime and gathering results. The action seemed to center on Alex's attempts to foil and go after his pursuers. I would have preferred an investigation into the crimes revealed by the manuscripts. Disappointing! This publishing mystery was enjoyable even on a re-read. The "Big Brother is Watching You" feeling lent some plausibility to otherwise unlikely coincidences. Overall good plot, action and so on. Alex Plumtree is an interesting character and the describptions of his friends and co-workers are excellent. Lisette, his secretary, is particularly colorful. This is a solid, enjoyable series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

From bestseller to death-dealer London's Plumtree Press has a world-class bestseller of a novel. And the sequel is earmarked to get this old family firm out of the red. But its anonymous author, known to Plumtree only as "Arthur," has apparently vanished, leaving the crucial last five chapters undelivered. Alex already knows they reveal the identity of the characters who smuggled British children to America during World War II. But, of course, this is fiction. So when a lead critic previews the book as a nonfiction exposé, Alex is shocked. Even more so when the critic is murdered...and Alex finds himself the target of a ruthless hunt for the manuscript and bizarre attempts on his life. Ducking newshounds, government officials, and the sniping of jealous publishers, Alex knows only one thing: If he can't find Arthur and untangle the truth, his next season's list may be a posthumous one.
