✦ Synopsis


Within the quiet respectable market town of Flaxborough lurks a dangerous criminal; someone who has no compunction in committing horrific crimes. A secret agent has been murdered in unsavoury circumstances connected to an acid bath and it is up to Inspector Purbright to investigate, but it does not take long for two more operatives to arrive in Flaxborough looking for the same answers. How can one of their colleagues have been murdered in such a bland, provincial town? As ever Purbright must use all his skills as an investigator to get to the truth. Described by the Literary Review as wickedly funny, Hopjoy was Here, the third in the Flaxborough series, was first published in 1962.[A] macabre and jolly English tale. New YorkerMr. Watson has an unforgivably sharp eye for the ridiculous. Anthony Boucher, New York Times Faber Finds will be reissuing all the Flaxborough novels in sequence.
