The fog enfolds the characters in the story; blinding them to their position; blotting out the truth; making every move a danger; effacing, with terrifying completeness, the familiar facts of ordinary existence. Through this fog Tommy Rostetter, free-lance journalist, gropes his way. It leads him from a smart hat-shop in Mayfair to a sleepy Sussex village, and finally, after a night race with death, to a dark lonely waste of Wiltshire downland. And not until the very last moment are the factors in the series of murders sorted out. \"Here is,\" as a critic has written of Alice Campbell's work, \"detective writing \u003cem\u003epar excellence\u003c\/em\u003e.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFlying Blind\u003c\/em\u003e was originally published in 1938.
