Tour de Force

JACKET NOTES:  This small Italian island is as pleasant as any in the Mediterranean. It helps Inspector Cockrill forget the cares and responsibilities of his Kent County Constabulary. But when a fellow tourist is found stabbed to death, Cockrill feels duty-bound to investigate. After all, the locals are slow to rouse to activity and the police exhibit a talent for ineptitude. What follows is hair-raising suspense that even Cockrill could not have foreseen.
