Endeavour reprint
Death Mask by J F Straker
When private detective Johnny Inch is invited to a fancy-dress party at Abstock Hall he looks forward to an evening of good food, fine wine and harmless flirtations.
But play soon turns into work as the night takes a sinister turn.
Witnessing a violent car bomb explosion Johnny is flung headlong into a dangerous murder investigation.
Employed by the lady of the manor and sporting two badly burned legs and a face to match, all Johnny has to go on is a threatening letter mysteriously signed by `The Goat'.
J. F. Straker was the author of twenty-five novels including `Murder of Miss Emily' and `Death on a Sunday Morning'.
