Demands with Menaces
Peter Zander-Howell
Works of: Fiction
In 1950, Philip Bryce is suddenly given two pieces of unexpected but welcome news – one domestic, the other work-related.
He is also given a new case to tackle. It’s a change from the murder cases he spends a lot of time on, but it’s tricky. This is one involving ‘demands with menaces’ – the offence commonly known as blackmail. And the first three victims are very high-ranking people.
Bryce investigates, with the newly-promoted Inspector Haig alongside him.
But who is the blackmailer? From where does he or she acquire the information? And just how innocent are the ‘victims’?
