Death on the Champs Elysies. By Francis Didelot, Translated by
W. G. Corp. (Macdonald, 16s.) Commissaire Bignon is faced with a seem- ingly insoluble problem. The pattern of the crime was disturbingly blurred but the criminal had not bargained for the subtle mind of the Com- missaire. An 'easy' translation. The Strange Blue Yawl. By Lucille Fletcher. (Eyre and Spottis- woode, 16s.) The somewhat adventurous in- vestigations carried out by that disarmingly art- less couple, Mary and Jack Leeds, after hearing a scream in the night and seeing a strange blue yawl in the river, have a quality of parody and are highly entertaining, but parody goes, after a surprising and sinister twist in the last few pages. Pole Reaction. By Jean Bruce. Translated by W. G. Corp. (Cassell, 16s.) In a temperature that never rose above minus thirty degrees, Agent OSS 117's latest assignment was to trace the leakage of top-secret information from the remote American nuclear base in Arctic Greenland. A fast-moving and exciting investigation follows.
