Dread and Water
By Douglas Clark
Three young nuclear physicists working with the Pottersby Research Centre in Berkshire meet accidental deaths at separate times and in different locations while mountaineering.
Superintendent Masters and Inspector Green of Scotland Yard are called in to investigate, and they soon discover a closed, intrigue-ridden scientific community seething with professional and personal jealousies.
Douglas Clark was born in Lincolnshire, 1919. He wrote over 20 crime novels and under other names, including James Ditton and Peter Hosier.
