Spoiler:

The eighth book in the Blackshirt series, Double for Blackshirt is a fast-paced and gripping mystery.

The irrepressible Blackshirt’s past reputation as a cracksman is well-known to the police. When a Judge is murdered at the time Blackshirt is taking too close an interest in his collection of snuff-boxes, the police are reluctant to name Blackshirt as the killer. Blackshirt knew that to fight was to risk disaster; he gave battle; the police closed in; the killer prepared for the last strike—and only Blackshirt’s daring lay between him and death or capture.

Roderic Jeffries was born in London in 1926. In 1943 he went to sea with the New Zealand Shipping Company and returned to England in 1949 where he practiced law before starting to write full time. His books have been adapted for film, television, and radio. His father, Graham Jeffries (pseudonym Bruce Graeme), began the Blackshirt series in 1925.
