Lestrade and the Deadly Game by M J Trow
The papers call it suicide. The deceased's father doesn't. And when Superintendent Lestrade investigates the death by duelling pistol of Anstruther Fitzgibbon, his suspicions are immediately aroused. One of Britain's leading athletes, Fitzgibbon is the first victim in a series of murders which threatens to extinguish the torch of the Olympic Games in London, in that glorious summer of 1908. When a hurdler of the ladies' team falls victim to her own bust improver, fingers are pointed in all directions, and not the least of Lestrade's worries is that he is dogged by an investigative journalist, whose husband is a jealous American detective with a short temper.
Trow, M. J.: - M.J. Trow has written highly praised historical biographies as well as studies of true crime. He is also a very successful novelist.
Among his recent publications are lives of Boudicca, Vlad the Impaler, Kit Marlowe, the hero of the Charge of the Light Brigade, Captain William Morris, War Crimes: Underworld Britain in the Second World War and The Cato Street Conspiracy.
He has produced several best-selling accounts of criminal cases, in particular volumes on Derek Bentley, the Wigwam Murder and Jack the Ripper, but he is perhaps best known for his many novels which include the Lestrade and Maxwell series.
