Book Synopsis

This first volume of the Inspector George Gently Collection comprises the original two novels that established Gently as one of Scotland Yard''s fictional finest.

These are the stories on which the hit BBC TV series was based, written with a charm that conveys Alan Hunter''s love of the East Anglian setting and demonstrating his expert use of dialogue to keep the plot moving along at a cracking pace.

The first of Gently''s cases, Gently Does It, has him enduring the holiday from hell when he is caught up in a mysterious murder and locks horns with the local police over their handling of the affair. In the second book, Gently By The Shore, other people''s holidays are disturbed when Gently is called in to investigate the discovery of a body on a pleasure beach.
