A policeman is going on trial for false arrest and Antony Maitland is called in by Scotland Yard to help. Why? He had had an earlier case in Northdean that dealt with the same thing - diamond smuggling. In this book, there is not a trial, but more investigative work by Maitland.
Sir Nicholas is strangely mellow throughout the novel and we find out why near the end of the book. Enjoyable, especially if you have read other books in the series and you know something about the main characters.

Another reread, and I liked it just as much as when I first read it all those years ago. I love the Antony Maitland books. My sister and I tried to collect as many as we could, but I know we don't have all 49. Too bad.

Loved it, go back in time to the 1970's when this book was published. Found in a little library and love when something from my childhood that I didn't read is there and it was really good. Written in conversation style. While only 192 pages it did pack a good punch.

One of my older books on the shelf. Couldnt remember it though, so had to read it again. Unfortunately it was a big dissapointment.
Now it’s ready to go to the second-hand store
