Description

It's awful: dear old Malcolm Creed, one of Virginia Freer's favorite neighbors, has been killed in a hit-and-run. Even worse, Malcolm's wife (er...widow) was in hospital at the time, so her homecoming is going to be a misery.

Aside from the expected grief, she'll need lots of help with meals and so forth, so you'd think it would be a blessing that Felix--Virginia's on-again/off-again husband--is on hand, paying one of his occasional visits. But a Felix Visitation is never an unalloyed blessing: he has what one reviewer called "a dishonest relationship with the truth," and also a positive genius for seeing conspiracy and murderous intent in what looks to the ordinary person like a tragic but garden-variety accident. Of course, he also has a remarkable knack for being right about this and for picking out the bad guys. So one shouldn't grouse about Felix too much. Not too much.

About the Author

Kenneth Cameron was born in 1931 in Rochester, NY. He was the author of seven historical novels featuring Denton, a compulsively romantic American with a dark past and a knack for solving other people's problems, though not necessarily his own. Cameron also wrote both scholarly material and top-tier espionage, some under the name George Bartram and some--with his son, Christian Cameron--under the name Gordon Kent. He was a passionate devotee of fly fishing and wilderness camping, and spent most of his time in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. He died at the age of eighty-nine, having written more than forty books.
