TOO SOON TO DIE
By
Colonel Jarrod, who only has six months to live but needs a year- to save the family estate from crippling death duties- arranges for a life after death through a facsimile- his brother. An investigation by the Inland Revenue brings in the Yard- which after turning up negative evidence- brings in the proof of murder and the intent to fraud. British, consistent, persistent, and to the point.
