A Voice Like Velvet by Donald Henderson
A sensational wartime crime novel about a BBC announcer who abuses his position to commit crimes against the rich and famous‘Skilfuly written and quietly suspenseful’–Martin Edwards
‘Combines a psychopathic study with [an] effective hare and hounds adventure’–Kirkus Reviews
‘Ah, just the sort of book I like’–Daily Express
‘People who have a weakness for stories about gentlemen crooks—and judging by the popularity of Raffles, Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford, etc, there are thousands of them—will be delighted to make the acquaintance of Ernest Bisham.’
Donald Landels Henderson was born in 1905; he later said, ‘I cannot pretend to have enjoyed anything very much about my childhood or adolescence.’ Henderson was an actor and combined writing with his acting career, before taking a job at the BBC, where he worked throughout the Second World War. He died at only 41, in 1947, just three years after the publication of Mr Bowling Buys a Newspaper.
