The final book by this prolific mystery writer (published the year after her death), the last entry in her long-running series of Inspector MacDonald mysteries. "When Superintendant MacDonald visited Fellcock Farm, bought against the day of his retirement, he put all thoughts of crime and criminals out of his head. But even there, high the fell country above Lunesdale, he was forced to face again the fact that a policeman is never off duty. The discovery of a dead body in the deserted house at High Garth set him to unravel a fascinating and baffling case and put him on to a trail which led him from the fells to Dartmoor and to a figure in prison uniform vanishing into the mist." Published in the U.S. as "The Last Escape." Most of the works of this author, who also wrote as "Carol Carnac," remained out of print between her death in 1958 and the early 2020s, when a number of her books (as both Lorac and Carnac) -- not including this one -- were reprinted in the British Library Crime Classics series.…
