Crime novelist & detective Paul Temple & his glamorous wife Steve first appeared on BBC Radio in 1938. They inhabited a sophisticated world of cocktails & fast cars, where the women were chic & the men wore cravats
- a world where Sir Graham Forbes, of Scotland Yard, usually needed Temple's help with his latest tricky case.
The radio serials proved so popular that Francis Durbridge was inspired to write a succession of novels featuring the smooth sleuth. Paul Temple & the Curzon Case is a gripping story of kidnapping, intrigue & sudden death read by Buffy & Little Britain star Anthony Head.
An aeroplane crashes on the cliffs of Dulworth Bay, & two boys disappear from a public school in the same village. Are the two events connected? & who is the mysterious Curzon? His name first appears etched on a cricket bat owned by one of the missing Baxter boys, but nobody at the school, in the village or the boys' father has heard of him.
When another boy vanishes, & a murder occurs. Paul knows that only by fitting a face to the name can he end Curzon's reign of terror..
