Nothing Was Delivered


Book Description

1969. Nick Storey is unexpectedly seconded to freight controls at Heathrow Airport. As no-one gives him a straight explanation about why he was chosen, he tries to find out about the sudden sickness of his predecessor. Assuming that something untoward had been going on, he tries to work out whether, and if so, how Customs staff could be helping criminals smuggle goods through the airport. His analysis leads to an abortive operation to trap those involved, but in doing so, he sets himself up as the gang's next target. In order to catch them, he has to offer himself as their unwitting victim and hope that Rosemary can arrive in time to save him. "Nothing was delivered" is the sixth book published in a series of detective stories set in Customs & Excise by Richard Hernaman Allen, a former Commissioner.
