[a.k.a. THE DANGER WITHIN]

At TIPPING MY FEDORA (25 October 2013), Sergio reviews an ingenious mixed-genre novel:

Gilbert . . . deserves great credit for his seamless blending of a fair play whodunit, impossible crime and an exciting story of wartime escape, told with a steady hand and a fine line in dry humour. There are lots of surprises in this superb and unusual book and should please even the most discerning of mystery fans.
