A Jury of Angels. By Bill Strutton. (Hodder and Stoughton,

12s. 6d.) Immensely civilised and satisfactory first attempt at the atom-scientist-on- the-run formula—full of style as well as of sus- pense, set in the seedier parts of London and in the sunny and the snowy parts of France, with a nice, natural heroine, a reluctant policeman, and a neat twist to the plot.
