Description

"Steed's style warm and chatty, the pace bracing" - Kirkus Reviews

Peter Marklin, owner of a Toy Emporium, finds his quiet life harshly interrupted when a collection of antique toys, worth over £20,000, is stolen. Faced with threats from their owner, he sets out to recover them but finds himself up against far more than the greed of unscrupulous collectors.

He's in way over his head but at least the prospect of a countryside dig to excavate the remains of a crashed Spitfire can provide a little solace. Yet even this isn't easy, and a growing resistance to the dig is being led by a local, indignant landlord.

When rather more than the plane and its pilot are unearthed, Marklin finds himself up to his neck in skeletons from the past -- skeletons that lead to attempts on his life...

Tinplate is a classic mystery story from as master of the genre.


Winner of the Crime Writers' Association John Creasy Memorial Award, 1987.
