He had tumbled in upon a mystery.</em></strong><br /> <br /> Desperate for some time away from his rowdy peers, David Henchman heads out of Oxford for a hike across Dartmoor. Relishing the peace and quiet, the last thing David expects to find at the top of Knack Tor is a dead body.<br /> <br /> Positioned with a gun in his hand and a bullet hole in his forehead, David assumes the shot was self-inflicted. But when somebody else ambles up the steep tor, David has second thoughts.<br /> <br /> And when shots ring out, David finds himself fleeing for his life across the wild moors. Will Appleby be able to find David before it's too late - or will he be the next victim in this deadly game of cat and mouse?<br /> <br /> <em>Death on a Quiet Day</em> was first published as <em>Appleby Plays Chicken</em> in 1956.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>PRAISE FOR <em>DEATH ON A QUIET DAY</em></strong></p><p>'Quite tremendous' - <em>Glasgow Herald</em></p><p>'Good humour abounds' - <em>Times Literary Supplement</em></p><p>"Confirms the fact that became clear in his first book, that Mr. Innes is in a class by himself among detective story writers." - <em>Times Literary Supplement</em></p><br>
