Endeavour Press
Blockbuster by Stephen Barlay
Follow Bucken, a policeman with panache, as he traces a dastardly plot to destroy the Essex coastline.
As some of those closest to Bucken are picked off one by one - the reliable Lad, the refugee, hot-dog selling, chess-playing Professor, even a murder attempt on Bucken's daredevil girlfriend, Maxine - it becomes clear that this plot is not just the project of the devious but feeble-minded Cutter-Smith, who dreams of glory for himself and his one-legged wife, Winnie.
An evil mastermind must be behind it all. But who is this man? Will Bucken discover him in time and foil his gruesome machinations?
Stephen Barlay was an acclaimed writer and journalist. Born Istvān Bokor, Barlay worked as a radio journalist in Hungary, before fleeing to England in 1956. His other books include Aircrash Detective, Fire, Double Cross, Sex Slavery and That Thin Red Line.
