Description
Jim Thorpe is striving for an ordinary life…
Studying law during the day and working nights at the local Vault.
Even pursuing a romance with the daughter of his boss.
But all of that changes on one fateful night.
A night that he switched shifts to attend dinner with his girlfriend.
The vault is robbed, and the night watchman murdered.
All evidence is suggesting that Jim was behind the heist, and he is quickly learning that his local police force believe in ‘guilty until proven innocent’.
His co-workers no longer trust him. His girlfriend won’t return his calls.
Can he convince the police of his innocence before his whole life is ruined?
Taking matters into his own hands, he begins looking for the perpetrators.
Uncovering some disturbing truths along the way, he soon finds himself travelling across Europe, determined to clear his name.
Everything points to a mysterious letter, assumed to have been taken in the robbery.
What does it contain that is worth killing for?
Who has it? And what lengths will the villains go to obtain it?
Will Jim make it home alive in order to inform the police of his discoveries or will they remain a secret forever?
An Ideal Crime is a gripping thriller written by a true master of the genre. The ingenious plot twists ensure the villain remains anonymous until the very end.
Roderic Jeffries was born in London in 1926 and went to sea in 1943. Six years later he left that trade to become a lawyer. He again changed profession to become a writer. Since 1951, he has written over one hundred and sixty novels under his own name and several other pseudonyms. He began his career by writing books featuring his father’s character, Blackshirt, a popular detective whose adventures have appeared in print for many decades. In time Jeffries branched out and began to write a variety of mystery novels under his own name and several pen names, including Peter Alding and Jeffrey Ashford.
