Never published in paperback, and back in print for the first time
since 1950, Back Room Girl was the first original novel by Francis
Durbridge. Retiring to No Man's Cove in Cornwall to write his
memoirs, crime reporter Roy Benton discovers that a disused tin
mine has become a research station for a secret weapons project.
Karen Silvers, in charge of operations, reluctantly accepts that
Benton's experience could help her fight a sinister organisation
intent on stealing their plans. Having adapted five of his Paul
Temple radio serials into successful novelisations, in 1950 Francis
Durbridge decided to try his hand at writing his first original
novel. Back Room Girl bore all the hallmarks of the famous Paul
Temple stories, an outlandish mixture of mystery, glamour and
suspense, in a book that was never reprinted and so became an
enigma to his many fans - until now. Includes an introduction by
bibliographer Melvyn Barnes plus two rare short stories written for
Christmas annuals: LIGHT-FINGERS and A PRESENT FROM PAUL TEMPLE.
