Rachel Reviews: The Age of Treachery by Gavin Scott
The Age of Treachery is a book which is many things in terms of genre as my snippet explains. Duncan Forrester is our protagonist, a university fellow at Oxford who is settling into life post-war when a colleague is killed and Forrester takes it upon himself to uncover the perpetrator of the crime. This gains greater importance when Forrester's friend is implicated for the murder and out of a sense of friendship as well as personal guilt, Forrester is compelled to help him.
