Staffordshire in the 1950s. Within the clay tanks at the pottery
company Shentall's, a body has been found. Amid cries of industrial
espionage and sabotage of this leader of the pottery industry,
there is a case of bitter murder to solve for Inspector Hedley
Nicholson. Kelly's mystery won the CWA Gold Dagger Award in 1961
for its impeccable sense of place and detail, and for the emotional
weight of its central crime. The novel is part of a shift from the
cosiness of crime novels before to mysteries characterised by their
psychological interest and affecting realism. An influential
classic.
