Product Description

Crime novelist and detective Paul Temple made his first appearance on BBC Radio in 1938. He inhabited a sophisticated world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, where the women were chic and the men wore cravats - a world where Sir Graham Forbes, of Scotland Yard, usually needed Temple's help with his latest tricky case. In this, the very first novel featuring the smooth sleuth, read by Anthony Head, a wave of mysterious robberies is sweeping the country, and fifty thousand pounds' worth of diamonds has been stolen in six months. During the fourth raid, a night watchman is attacked with chloroform, and just manages to gasp out 'The Green Finger' before he dies. Chief Inspector Dale has heard the enigmatic phrase before: it was the last utterance of a drowning man wanted in connection with another robbery. But with no further leads, the police are baffled. The cry goes out in the popular press: "Send for Paul Temple"!
