About this listen
A man is found dead in an escape tunnel in an Italian prisoner of war camp. Did he die in an accidental collapse - or was this murder? Captain Henry 'Cuckoo' Goyles, master tunneller and amateur detective, takes up the case. This classic locked room mystery with a closed circle of suspects is woven together with a thrilling story of escape from the camp, as the Second World War nears its endgame and the British prisoners prepare to flee into the Italian countryside.
©1952 Michael Gilbert (P)2019 SoundingsItaly nearing the Armistice there, and the interactions of the various parties. Although I figured out what
was going on around 2/3 of the way through the book, it was so beautifully written and the characters and
events so engaging, I could barely stop listening to it.
I certainly didn't expect a story of this quality and genuine depth given the description that was provided.
Excellent story, well performed
