Six months after the death of Sir Hubert Spain his son, Roger, who has been exploring in Tibet, becomes convinced that his father was murdered and he sets out to find the man who did it. He has only a tenuous clue to the man's identity and no idea as to the motive for the crime, but his determination makes up for his lack of definite information. Selwyn Jepson (18991989) was a British author, whose father was the mystery/detective author Edgar Alfred Jepson (18631938. His mother was Frieda (nee Holmes) , daughter of the musician Henry Holmes and his sister Margaret (19072003) , also a novelist, was later the mother of Fay Weldon. In later life he resided at Far House, Farther Common, Liss, Hants, by which time he was a well-known mystery/detective author and screenwriter. Arguably his best known work was 'Keep Murder Quiet' (1940) and the Eve Gill novel series; Gill was a young sleuth frequently dealing with problems caused by her liquor-smuggling father. He was also portrayed in film and in various books through his experiences in SOE during the war. An example of this is in 'Carve Her Name With Pride' by R J Minney with Jepson's connection being that he was responsible for approving Violette Szabo, whose World War II exploits and tragic death were the subject of the book and film of that name. He is also featured in Sebastian Faulks' novel ''Charlotte Gray'. He is also featured in Sebastian Faulks' novel ''Charlotte Gray'. He is also featured in Sebastian Faulks' novel ''Charlotte Gray'.
