The Killing of Katie Steelstock
Katie Steelstock was the small-town girl who made good; for millions of fans she was 'our Katie,' the toast of British TV. Then she is found brutally murdered after she had gone down from London to attend a local dance. Chief Superintendent Charlie Knott of Scotland Yard stalks her killer along a trail that leads from the very proper circles of the English country set to the sordid underside of the London show-business jungle.

Michael Gilbert
Born in Lincolnshire in 1912, Michael Francis Gilbert was educated in Sussex before entering the University of London where he gained an LLB with honours in 1937. Gilbert was a founding member of the British Crime Writers Association, and in 1988 he was named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America - an achievement many thought long overdue. He won the Life Achievement Anthony Award at the 1990 Boucheron in London, and in 1980 he was knighted as a Commander in the Order of the British Empire. Gilbert made his debut in 1947 with Close Quarters, and since then has become recognized as one of our most versatile British mystery writers.
He was the father of Harriett Gilbert.
