I never knew, till then, the possibilities inherent in spaghetti when controlled by an ingenious spirit. Anthony Bathurst
tWith austerity holding the country in a vice-like grip, chemist Donald Finney is happy with any offer of work. Even though the proposal from the mysterious Mr Reheboam of 100 for a single night's work seems too good to be true, he never expected that it would be the last night of his life.
The cause of death is far from clear - there are no wounds on his body, but his skin is strangely discoloured - but the strangest things are what was found on his body. A strange note with the name of a local police inspector and a piece of cooked bacon rind - both curled up and hidden in his belly-button. As Anthony Bathurst races to decipher this strangest of dying messages, it becomes clear that Mr Reheboam's work is far from complete...
Where There Was Smoke was first published in 1950. This new edition features an introduction by Steve Barge.
