无妄之灾

Ordeal by Innocence

After a two-year expedition into Antarctica, Dr. Arthur Calgary travels back to England to return his friend Jack Argyle’s address book, which Jack had left in Arthur’s car before his departure. Jack, however, is dead, executed after being framed for murder. Calgary has proof of his innocence; he was with Jack at the time of the murder. But why then does no one wish to reopen the case? Not Jack’s father, not his secretary, not his sister or her husband, not even Inspector Huish, the policeman in charge.
